Let me guess this: The OpenConnection() method of the QBXMLRPE.RequestProcessor class actually exposes more interfaces in the form of properties and methods AFTER it has been called.
If so, it is same problem that my team and I found when testing with MS SOAP v2 when we needed a consistent SOAP layer (read: same code) that is deployable on both CFAS v5 and CFMX. CFMX stores and does not re-check the allowed interfaces for the COM object after it has been instantiated. Hence, new interfaces exposed after calling a method are not accessible. In the case of MS SOAP v2, the remote object's interfaces are not exposed in CFMX, hence, rendering MS SOAP v2 useless on CFMX. For those interested in why we would explore MS SOAP on CFMX, we needed the solution to work equally well in CFAS v5. We did not have much faith or resources/expertise in testing Apache SOAP/Axis/et al in CFAS v5. :P We knew back then that CFMX's webservices tier is based on Apache Axis. :) ;) Summary: CFMX + COM == BAD Idea. ----------------------- James Ang Sr. Software Developer MedSeek, Inc.

Ok, I tried re-applying Updater 3, and now I get this error: An exception occurred when executing a Com method. The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x80020005 - Type mismatch.. The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\engineCom\viewPO.cfm: line 21 19 : <CFOBJECT ACTION="CONNECT" CLASS="QBXMLRPE.RequestProcessor" NAME="rp"> 20 : <CFSET rp.OpenConnection("12", "eCom")> 21 : <CFSET qbTicket = rp.BeginSession("",2)> 22 : <CFSET rp.EndSession(qbTicket)> However, this code in ASP works with no problems: Set rp = Server.CreateObject("QBXMLRPE.RequestProcessor") rp.OpenConnection "12", "eCom" ticket = rp.BeginSession( "", 2 ) rp.EndSession ticket Any ideas? I tried both CONNECT and CREATE, and I get the same error. Could CF be passing in the 2 in some other format (like 2.0)? Matt -----Original Message----- From: Matt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 2:59 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Why can't COM just work in CFMX? Ok, two lines that basically do the same thing, one in ASP and the other in CFMX: ASP: Set rp = Server.CreateObject("QBXMLRPE.RequestProcessor") CFMX: <CFOBJECT ACTION="CONNECT" CLASS="QBXMLRPE.RequestProcessor" NAME="rp"> ASP continues fine and I get the expected return. CFMX gives me this: An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object. The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument is not a COM object: null. How could this be? I know the object exists, because ASP uses it with no problems. Is this a known issue with a work around? I figured I'd ask before I simply give up and go to ASP...it's a PITA, but it'll actually work =) Matt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
