Hi all, This is a pretty odd request. I actually found someone asking a similar question all over the place back in 2003 but they never found an answer as far as I can tell. Basically, we have multiple products. All of those products are .NET with exception to the one I work on (the better one!!) which is obviously ColdFusion. (8.0.1).
All of the products have a similar web service and they all work and clients can use them fine. We offer our products individually or as a suite. As a suite, management wants a single wrapper service that handles calling all of the individual product web services. That makes sense, better product integration = a better experience. However, management does not want that wrapper to cater to the products, they want the products to cater to that wrapper. Ive lost that battle about 4 times now so the only option is conformity at this point. The problem with that are the many differences in the resulting stubs between the CF product and the .NET products. I have worked with the guy developing the wrapper to get all of the complex data types worked out (almost) and there is one more nagging issue. Lets say the method in the service is called myMethod... all of the .NET WSDLs have something like the following. <MyMethodResponse xmlns=http://Integrations/> <MyMethodResul> </MyMethodResult> </MyMethodResponse> The result from the CF webservice looks more like: <ns1:MyMethodResponse soapenv:encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/sopa/encoding/ xmlns:ns1=http://Integrations/> <MyMethodReturn xsi:type=ns2:RetObjName xmlns:ns2=http://some.path> <MyMethodReturn> </ns1:MyMethodResponse> The difference that the other developer believes is causing an issue is <MyMethodReturn> instead of <MyMethodResult> Obviously, that isnt something I am stubbing out manually; Axis is doing that behind the scenes. We've been able to force the complex definitions in the stub to be more like what we need them to be by using some custom object CFCs and defining argument types like customType[]. However, I've not found ANYTHING that would allow me to override the "Return" to "Result". I have a hard time believing this is really the problem but I can't prove that unless I can get it returned that way. Does anyone have any idea on whether or not this is even possible in CF and, if so, how it can be done? I've been at this one for a while and would really appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thanks! .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
