Usually, when sending data from a form to a web service, you should consider using microsoft's soapclient. You're trying to create a soap envenlope, and that's actually a dtd within the xml specification.
Here's some code to get you started: <cftry> <cfobject action="CREATE" type="COM" name="SOAPClient" class="MSSOAP.SOAPCLient"> <cfcatch><cfobject action="CONNECT" type="COM" name="SOAPClient" class="MSSOAP.SOAPCLient"></cfcatch> </cftry> <cfset myClient = SOAPClient.mssoapinit("https://somfile.wsdl","","","")> <cfoutput>#myClient#</cfoutput> <cfset temp = SOAPClient.start("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "password", "CKEY1SZZ9R4YW88KI")> This method works for almost all situations except where complex types are used. MSSOAP.SoapClient currently lacks in the support of complex types.

I'm trying to send data from a form to a service that needs the data in an xml format. Do you know of a custom tag that can create xml formatted data? I would use the <CFWDDX> tag, but the service can't parce wddx packets.
