Sorry for my ignorance on this.  I've written my own web services in CF and 
consumed in CF before.  But the complexity of their API is new to me.  I didn't 
realize you could host it locally and still make the proper calls like that.  
Totally makes sense.  Let me play with it and see if I can get that working.  
Maybe I've been completely over-complicating things.

I may be missing something here, but the WSDL file should contain the URL for 
the SOAP endpoint. You should, in turn, be able to point CF at the URL of the 
WSDL file, regardless of whether it's a local copy or a remote WSDL URL.
