I changed the location of my JAR to {cfroot}/lib and all is fine with
CF7. :)As for WSDL2CFML...that's exactly what I was getting at...a tool that would outline the required CF data format required to pass into a web service. Exactly how dreamweaver does it now with the web service and the cfinvoke tag itself...except this new tool would just drop the data structure on ur page. Would make things a cynch!

To some extent that's what cfinvoke already does, and for what it achieves it works very well. IMHO the general promise of web services has not been achieved because it is too hard to consume them. If cfinvoke could be made to work well enough to consume more complex services, it would be a huge win for Macromedia. I almost think WSDl2CFML would be too low level, but it would be extremely useful to be able to dump the Java object(s) that cfinvoke uses for a particular web service call. That single feature (albeit a complicated one to create) would be a huge advance from where we are now, as would a debug interface for web service calls. > >One major drawback though is having to remove the webservices.jar from >the cfmx classpath.

I compiled my Java class using the Axis libraries in CFMX 7.
