Well, heck-- you're making this harder than it has to be. You don't need a "full blown API"-- ColdFusion does all the SOAP nonsense for you!
If you are calling a SOAP web service, all you need is a couple lines of code. Check out: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applicat ions_with_CFML/webservices4.htm Two simple examples (copied from that page) would be: <cfinvoke webservice = "http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/BabelFishService.wsdl"; method = "BabelFish" translationmode = "en_es" sourcedata = "Hello world, friend" returnVariable = "foo"> <cfoutput>#foo#</cfoutput> Or... <cfscript> ws = CreateObject("webservice", "http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/BabelFishService.wsdl";); xlatstring = ws.BabelFish("en_es", "Hello world, friend"); writeoutput(xlatstring); </cfscript> All the SOAP stuff happens in the background and you get a regular ColdFusion variable back. I don't know what kind of variable your web service is returning (array, string, complex type, ect), but looking at the WSDL will tell you that. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: LSD 4Me [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 1:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Dynamic XML(DOM) "...When you say XML data, you're not referring to a SOAP packet are you?" Yes, it is a SOAP packet returned in XML format. The API that was written for the remote webservice has plenty of SOAP related requests but we are using the HTTP POST method insteatd of creating a full blown API on our side. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:308761 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
