Theo, I've had better experiences (with both the CF 8 debugger and FusionDebug, for those using CF 6 or 7). I assume you're referring to the feature built into CF 8, though. As for the limited variable scopes, that's controllable in the Eclipse preferences page for the debugger (which may be

That brings to mind another tip: when stepping through code, favor using step over versus step into when not on CF tags like CFINCLUDE, CFINVOKE, CFMODULE, etc. For those, sure, use Step Into if you really do want to open the file they will execute, But if you use Step Into on other tags (that

I've not seen that issue, no. As for whether it would occur in CF8, well, I don't know. I don't have any clob data to be able to tell. Here's one thought: in the advanced settings for a DSN (in the CF Admin) there is an option to enable/disable blob/clob support. What happens if you toggle that?

Matthew, in your example you're just expecting to get the WSDL back, right? When you do a view source, what do you see? It should be a lot of SOAP XML. If it's anything else, it could give you clues as to an error in the code (Even as simpler as the CFC is, and it did work for me.) But do note

Fair enough. I had one other thought I'd forgotten to mention: if it is indeed a matter of the template cache having cached a 404 error, there's still one more thing you can do in a more programmatic fashion, since you're on CF 8. You can now call the Admin API method, clearTrustedCache, and pass
