Mathew, You need to create an Array and pass that object to the Webservice:-)

Hi cfaussie, I've been on this one a while so any help would be kindly appreciated!!!! I've broken my question down into 3 parts because some of you may not be arsed to read Question 3 (which is really long) so maybe if I solve 1 or 2 I'll crack this problem. === QUESTION 1 === How do I write the 2 lines of Java code below in CF to pass into a web service? --------------- String[] countriesCovered = null; Attribute[] attributes = null; ------------- === QUESTION 2 === I've tried to solve this problem by consuming a simple web service. If there are any web services experts out there please show yourself, and show me how to get the code below to work!!! ----------------------- <cfscript> ws = CreateObject("webservice","http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/SOAP_server/ ndfdXMLserver.php?wsdl"); NDFDgenResponse = ws.NDFDgen(JavaCast('double',38.99),JavaCast('double',-77.99),JavaCast('stri ng','time-series'), DateFormat('2004-01-01','mm/dd/yyyy hh:ss'),DateFormat('2010-06-26','mm/dd/yyyy hh:ss')); </cfscript> <cfdump var="#NDFDgenResponse#"> ----------------------- ANd here's the error: ------------------- Web service operation "NDFDgen" with parameters {38.99,-77.99, time-series,01/01/2004 12:00,06/26/2010 12:00} could not be found. ------------------- I'm certain that the problem here is how I'm passing in parameters. Weather it be a complex type or a date or whatever, I'm doing something wrong! Any ideas... anyone??!?!?!? === QUESTION 3 === The main problem I'm having is trying to pass complex parameters into a web service (WS). Here is the latest error: ---------- :::Error::: Unable to create web service argument class [Ljava.lang.String;. Error: java.lang.InstantiationException: [Ljava.lang.String;. Often this is because the web service defines an <i>abstract</icomplexType as an input to an operation. You must create an actual instance of this type in Java. ---------------- :::Here's my code::: <cfscript> webservice = CreateObject("webservice","url?wsdl"); countriesCovered.France = JavaCast("string","FR"); result = webservice.doSearch(JavaCast("string","123456"), JavaCast("null",""), JavaCast("null",""), countriesCovered, JavaCast("null","")); </cfscript> ---- I've tried so many options (it feels like I can see the top of the hill :)) but I just can't get doSearch method to work. FYI: I've had no problems getting strings returned from simple functions (where no input was required) but it's the complex functions which I can't get to work (like this doSearch method). Here's some snippets of the WSDL: ------------------ :::Snippet 1::: <wsdl:types> <schema targetNamespace="soap.ws.web.raileurope.com"> <import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/> <complexType name="ArrayOf_xsd_string"> <complexContent> <restriction base="soapenc:Array"> <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="xsd:string[]"/> </restriction> </complexContent> </complexType> <complexType name="Attribute"> <sequence> <element name="name" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/> <element name="value" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/> </sequence> </complexType> <complexType name="ArrayOfAttribute"> <complexContent> <restriction base="soapenc:Array"> <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="impl:Attribute[]"/> </restriction> </complexContent> </complexType> :::: Snippet 2 ::: <wsdl:message name="doSearchResponse"> <wsdl:part name="doSearchReturn" type="impl:SearchResult"/> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:message name="doSearchRequest"> <wsdl:part name="key" type="xsd:string"/> <wsdl:part name="locale" type="xsd:string"/> <wsdl:part name="style" type="xsd:string"/> <wsdl:part name="countriesCovered" type="impl:ArrayOf_xsd_string"/> <wsdl:part name="attributes" type="impl:ArrayOfAttribute"/> </wsdl:message> ::: Snippet 3 ::: <wsdl:portType name="Test"> <wsdl:operation name="doSearch" parameterOrder="key locale style countriesCovered attributes"> <wsdl:input message="impl:doSearchRequest" name="doSearchRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="impl:doSearchResponse" name="doSearchResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> ::: Snippet 4 ::: <wsdl:binding name="TestWebServiceSoapBinding" type="impl:Test"> <wsdlsoap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap. org/soap/http"/> <wsdl:operation name="doSearch"> <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction=""/> <wsdl:input name="doSearchRequest"> <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap. org/soap/encoding/" namespace="soap.ws.web.raileurope.com" use="encoded"/> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output name="doSearchResponse"> <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap. org/soap/encoding/" namespace="soap.ws.web.raileurope.com" use="encoded"/> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> ---------------- I asked the programmer who wrote the WS to send some sample code. :::Here is his Java 5.0 code::: ------------------------------- String key = null; String locale = null; String[] countriesCovered = null; Attribute[] attributes = null; key = "123456"; countriesCovered = new String[1]; countriesCovered[0] = "FR"; TestService _service = new TestServiceLocator(); Test _ptr = _service.getRailEuropeWebService(); SearchResult result = _ptr.doSearch(key, locale, null, countriesCovered, attributes); ------------------------------- I've thought about writting a wrapper Java class which I could use from my CF code to call the WS. Is this sensible? My thought was to use the function supplied above and just add an additional function which I would pass in the parameters from CF which would then convert all variables to the correct types and call the WS. I've not actually tested the supplied Java code yet so I'm not even sure it will work. I was hoping to get it working directly from CF. Would it be best to save this wrapper as a class or a jar or what?
