Steve, Try hitting it with CFHTTP and see what you get:
<cfhttp url="https://devurl.asmx?method=ZNAPing";></cfhttp> <cfdump var="#cfhttp#"> See what you get. Maybe it's not written as a 'real' web service and simply just returns xml?

I am pretty much brand new to web services so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I have been working on a real small web app that allows the customer to input an invoice then it kicks out a csv of the invoices. My problem is that the vendor just added an additional step that requires that I check the invoice against a web service that will tell me if it is valid. The vendor gave me a basic document that lays out the web services. There are 2 web services one is just a ping and the other actually checks the invoice. I cannot get either of them to work and I am not sure why. Here is the info for the ping web service that they sent: ZNAPing Purpose:This web service was created to give an external customer an opportunity to verify availability of the ZNA Claims Web Services before calling in with actual request. Signature:string ZNAPing( void ); Input:NONE Result:string. Note:Successful return will contain an XML fragment with the following information <ZNAPingResult> <timeStamp>9/24/2004 8:24:58 AM</timeStamp> <Version>0.61</Version> </ZNAPingResult> Client can parse this string to extract some information - <timeStamp> element contains date and time of the call, <Version> element ââ¬â contains the version of the web services. I have been trying to consume it using cfinvoke like this: <cfinvoke webservice = "https://devurl.asmx"; method = "ZNAPing" returnVariable = "getBack" username="username" password="password"> <cfoutput>#getBack#</cfoutput> I am getting this error when I run it: Unable to parse WSDL as an XML document. Parsing error: Fatal Error: URI=null Line=69: The element type "p" must be terminated by the matching end-tag " Again, I am very new to web services so I am sure I am doing something wrong. If anyone could help point me in the right direction that would be very helpful.
