Thanks for the help, Bruce D., Matt and Bruce P. Well I've spent some time with this and have been able to finally figure out that the usual examples of consuming web services are painfully trivial. Most of the examples return a single value usually as an intrinsic type such as string or double.
Not very useful for returning say a recordset to be converted into a coldfusion query. The approaches that I was able to make work were to have the webservice return an xml representation of the dataset as a string and to build a custom data structure to hold a record from the dataset and then return the collection of custom data structures as an array. Both require the coldfusion client to create an query object before hand with the appropriate column headings and then navigate through the returned object and parse the various values into the correct column of the query. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bruce Dunwiddie Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 1:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [KCFusion] Consume .NET WebService issue it almost looks like the data you're getting back is a .Net variable instance, instead of like an xml document. if you were to call it from a .Net client, it would probably deserialize the variable back into the original object for use. if your web server is running .Net framework 1.0, I know you can manually make a call to the webserver using the syntax http://dvlpServer/webservice/XMLServ.asmx/GetPolicyXML?yourvariablenamehere=0011148&yourothervariablenamehere=2002 and then you could see if you're actually getting back an XML document or if you're getting a serialized .Net object, which I bet you are.

Here's the code that's being used <cfscript> ws = CreateObject("webservice", "http://dvlpServer/webservice/XMLServ.asmx?wsdl";); xlatstring = ws.GetPolicyXML("0011148","2002"); writeoutput(xlatstring); </cfscript> the cfinvoke tag has also been tried. The response from the webservice is [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is not the response I'm expecting. The webservice when tested with .Net clients works fine Anybody have any insight on consuming .Net webservices?
