I must be having a thicko morning :-) but I don't actually understand that... I have no control over the webservice being consumed, and rather than having large <cfinvoke>s all over my site's code, I thought it would be useful to have the majority of the code, like authorisation and creation of the service object, all in a cfc and call from elsewhere in the code with small <cfinvoke>s that carry just the method name and the parameters.
