I actually just got done doing a project that consumed an XML-RPC web service. There is a CFC Roger Benningfield wrote that will translate xml-rpc xml to ColdFusion vars and back again. There is a link in the comments of my blog here: http://www.codersrevolution.com/index.cfm/2008/8/30/XMLRPC-Alive-yes-but-still-kicking
Basically, you call the webservice with a cfhttp tag, and you simply pass the XML as the body of the request and parse the XML that comes back. Here's a snippet of code that goes with the CFC I mentioned above (error checking removed). <cfset local.request_xml = CFML2XMLRPC(local.inputs_array,'call')> <cfhttp url="#arguments.web_service_location#" method="POST" timeout="60" result="local.cfhttp"> <cfhttpparam name="request_body" value="#local.request_xml#" type="xml"> </cfhttp> <cfset local.response = XMLRPC2CFML(local.cfhttp.filecontent)> ~Brad ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Watts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 6:12 PM Subject: RE: XML-RPC with CF8? >> I've found some web references to consuming XMP-RPC using >> CF8's built-in funcitonality, but no examples.
