The problem is that I have to consume a service that is not CF, on XYZ's server, which works if I use <cfinvoke> with arguments. What I was (perhaps wrongly) trying to do was to gather all the bulk of the code in the <cfinvoke>s from around the system - into a cfc that would have all the security stuff (passwords etc) and creation, perhaps, of a webservice object, and methods, in just the one place to which I could send the info from the point of consumption to receive a success/fail result - which is all I need. We are passing info from us (in CF) to them (in php). I've decided to create a central file to be invoked the point of consumption. That will have all the cfinvokes and a cfswitch; the webserver object will be created at the top of the file. Having laid myself totally open to laughter and ridicule on this subject, I have appreciated the help offered, guys. > > > > -- > Russ Michaels > Certified ColdFusion Professional > My Blog: www.russ.michaels.me.uk > Tel: 0845 8620034 > Fax: 07092 300330 > Skype: russmichaels > > Commerical ColdFusion & BlueDragon Hosting: www.cfmxhosting.co.uk > FREE CFML Developer hosting : www.cfdeveloper.co.uk > > > > Russ > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry Riley > Sent: 07 October 2008 14:25 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] CFMX6.1 and web services > > >- see footer for list info -< > Yup, I knew that..... > > Was trying to figure why I got the error any way but a direct > <cfinvoke>.
