Simultaneous Web Service Requests From Same Template
I have an app I am building that hits a web service and returns lodging inventory. Sometimes there can be as many as 7 room types in a search result. That means it calls the web service 7 times and returns the inventory data each time. I loop through the 7 room types on the server side and send the room type and arrival/departure dates to the web service. Is there a way to hit that web service concurrently and store the results in array or something as they come in? Visual example: Room #1 --- hits web service - returns dataset - 1-3 seconds response Next-Room #2 --- hits web service - returns dataset- 1-3 seconds response Next-Room #3 --- hits web service - returns dataset- 1-3 seconds response And so on... Total execution time can be around 15+ seconds for the page to retrieve inventory for all rooms before displaying available ones. Thoughts??

RE: Inserting NULL between characers using CFFILE
Leigh, Thanks for that information. Exactly what I needed!!! I had got it working in the meantime by doing this: 1. creating a small file from Winhex that only contained 1 NULL character. 2. Using CFFILE to read this into a variable 3. Replacing all occurrences from the Hex data with that variable containing the NULL character. BUT, now that I have this it works great, thanks! -Original Message- From: Leigh [mailto:cfsearch...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 4:07 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Inserting NULL between characers using CFFILE Does anyone know how to get CFFILE to insert NULL chars into a file?

Inserting NULL between characers using CFFILE
Here's a good one, maybe the answer is simple.
I'm pulling a JPEG as HEX data eg. ('ffd8ffe00...') from a remote system.
I am already converting the hex values back to their corresponding ASCII
values.
Everything works fine except for the original parts that have a HEX value of
'00'
When I use chr(0) it returns nothing and so I am missing all the NULL parts
of the JPEG and it won't display.
Does anyone know how to get CFFILE to insert NULL chars into a file?

FW: Calling .ASPX.VB from .CFM
I figured out a way and will try to explain below so others can try to benefit from it. I needed to call a .NET web service passing it a complex structure of data. It would then in turn return a complex object that had the search results for room availability. I then had to do alot of CFDUMPS of my returned object until I found how to parse through the XML. == cfscript // create credentials object CheckAvailabilityR.Credentials = StructNew(); CheckAvailabilityR.Credentials.LogonID = IRMTest; CheckAvailabilityR.Credentials.Password = **; CheckAvailabilityR.Credentials.DataPath = **; CheckAvailabilityR.Credentials.DatabaseID = #attributes.databaseID#; // create availability obnject CheckAvailabilityR.AvailabilityRequest = StructNew(); CheckAvailabilityR.AvailabilityRequest.ArrivalDate = #dateFormat(attributes.arrivalDate, -mm-dd)#; CheckAvailabilityR.AvailabilityRequest.DepartureDate = #dateFormat(attributes.departureDate, -mm-dd)#; CheckAvailabilityR.AvailabilityRequest.RoomType = #attributes.roomType#; CheckAvailabilityR.AvailabilityRequest.People1 = #attributes.numAdults#; CheckAvailabilityR.AvailabilityRequest.People2 = 0; CheckAvailabilityR.AvailabilityRequest.People3 = 0; CheckAvailabilityR.AvailabilityRequest.People4 = 0; // create the web service irm = CreateObject(webservice, http://irm.resortdata.com/LutsenInterface/IRMPublic.asmx?wsdl;); // pass the checkAvailability object to the services CheckAvailability method CheckAvailabilityRQ = irm.checkAvailability(CheckAvailabilityR); // get the status of the result status = CheckAvailabilityRQ.getStatus(); statusText = status.getValue(); // call the get inventory method inv = CheckAvailabilityRQ.getInventory(); // get the raw data from the result invData = inv.get_any(); // create new structure to hold raw data dataset = StructNew(); // load resulting data into new structure dataset = invData; // parse raw data from MS diffgram and parse the XML rawRoomData = xmlParse(dataset[2]); // grab array of room records roomResults = rawRoomData[diffgr:diffgram][inventory].XmlChildren; /cfscript cfdump var=#roomResults# = That's all the ColdFusion code I need to call the web service pass it the structure of data then receive and parse the results. The only thing left for me to do is to encapsulate it in a CFC that will return me a CF recordset or a no inventory available status.

I am beginning to see how WSDL works here and how I will be able to call it via CFINVOKE.

It appears that: - CheckAvailability CALLS CheckAvailability_irmRQ - CheckAvailability_irmRQ CALLS Credentials - Credentials CALLS irmWebSvcCredentials - - irmWebSvcCredentials is looking for a structure containing 4 strings - CheckAvailability_irmRQ ALSO CALLS AvailabilityRequest - AvailabilityRequest CALLS irmDatesRoomInfo - - irmDatesRoomInfo is looking for a structure that contains 2 dates, 1 string and 4 integers SO... if I use CFINVOKE I am not quite sure what to pass in the CFINVOKEARGUMENT Do I attempt to create a large structure and pass it in under 'CheckAvailability_irmRQ'?

RE: Calling .ASPX.VB from .CFM
Dave, That definitely points me in a better direction, thank you. One other thing that is confusing me however is how the complex types of the WSDL are pointing to other complex types. For instance, in this following bit of the WSDL: s:element name=CheckAvailability s:complexType s:sequence s:element minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 name=CheckAvailabilityRQ type=tns:CheckAvailability_irmRQ / /s:sequence /s:complexType /s:element s:complexType name=CheckAvailability_irmRQ s:sequence s:element minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 name=Credentials type=tns:irmWebSvcCredentials / s:element minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 name=AvailabilityRequest type=tns:irmDatesRoomInfo / /s:sequence /s:complexType The element 'CheckAvailability' defines a complex type of 'CheckAvailability_irmRQ'. 'CheckAvailability_irmRQ' is later defined as a complex type that points to two other complex types within the WSDL. I'm trying to wrap my brain around how to create and send complex objects to the web service but it's hurting. I know that the data to be sent in is: String: dataPath String: LogonID String: Password String: DatabaseID String: RoomType DateTime: ArrivalDate DateTime: DepartureDate Int: People1 Int: People2 Int: People3 Int: People4 How can it be so tricky to get these values into cold fusion objects that will map correctly the XML of this WSDL?

RE: Calling .ASPX.VB from .CFM
Digging deeper...
Using a program called 'Altova MapForce'. Opened the WSDL file in there,
here are the global settings.
WSDL Definitions:
http://irm.resortdata.com/LutsenInterface/IRMPublic.asmx?wsdl
Service: {http://resortdata.com/IRMPublic}IRMPublicMethods
Port: IRMPublicMethodsSoap
Operation: {http://resortdata.com/IRMPublic}CheckAvailability
Endpoint: http://irm.resortdata.com/LutsenInterface/IRMPublic.asmx
Looking again at the aspx.vb file:
Dim CheckAvailabilityRQ As New IRMPublic.CheckAvailability_irmRQ
(in the VB file it appears they are creating a new object from the def.
IRMPublic.CheckAvailability_irmRQ)
How can I accomplish the creation of the object CheckAvailabilityRQ using
ColdFusion?
cfobject
name = IRMPublic
webservice= http://resortdata.com/IRMPublic;
type = webservice
wsportname = IRMPublicMethodsSoap
Then use CFINVOKE or something to create an instance of
'IRMPublic.CheckAvailability_irmRQ'?
I think I am getting closer...

represent the objects and you'll need to use CFPROPERTY to name the
properties of those objects in a way that the CF WSDL stub builder

Since it's an HTML form and action page, you can use CFHTTP to send an HTTP POST request to the action page URL. Since it's .NET, you may need to actually use CFHTTP to fetch the form and get the VIEWSTATE, so you can send that with your POST. I noticed you listed a WSDL file, but I didn't see any file that obviously corresponds to a SOAP service. You may want to ask the provider of this code if there is a SOAP interface, since that would be easier to invoke.

RE: Calling .ASPX.VB from .CFM
Here is a link to the .WSDL file: http://lutsen.steelfusion.com/winter/rates_packages/packages/rdp/rdp/rdpweb/ IRMPublic.wsdl So I tried this: cfinvoke webservice=http://lutsen.steelfusion.com/winter/rates_packages/packages/rdp /rdp/rdpweb/IRMPublic.wsdl method=CheckAvailability returnvariable=aTemp /cfinvoke cfdump var=#aTemp# To call this code: http://lutsen.steelfusion.com/winter/rates_packages/packages/rdp/act_callDot Net.cfm It tells me that CheckAvailability cannot be found. I can see the it though in the wsdl file. Am I calling incorrectly? Thanks again, Jason -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:dwa...@figleaf.com] Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 10:31 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Calling .ASPX.VB from .CFM I was told that the .vb writes the soap. Here is the SOAP: http://irm.resortdata.com/LutsenInterface/IRMpublic.asmx?op=CheckAvailabilit y So could I skip having the aspx.vb file generating the soap and just generate it myself and send it to the SOAPAction address? If there's a URL for the WSDL file, you should be able to invoke it directly from CF using CFINVOKE. That WSDL file will contain the instructions for CF to talk to your .NET web service. If the web service is returning complex types, you may have to futz around with CF to get what you need.

Calling .ASPX.VB from .CFM
Been writing CF apps for 10 years. First time posting. Humbling experience and probably well needed. Scenario: Was provided files from a 3rd party that would allow me to search motel inventory. Client wants me to search inventory and integrate into existing coldfusion based website. I was able to setup this .NET app on my test server and get it to work: http://lutsen.steelfusion.com/winter/rates_packages/packages/rdp/rdp/Default.aspx I pre-loaded valid input to get search results. Just click âCheck Availabilityâ to return inventory data. OKAY, so there is a default .aspx page that has this at the top of it: %@ Page Language=VB AutoEventWireup=false CodeFile=Default.aspx..vb Inherits=_Default % Here is the file structure under âRDPâ RDP- Default.aspx Default.aspx.vb Global.asax IRMNetSample.sln web.config App_WebReferences (sub-folder) IRMPublic (sub-folder) IRMPublic.disco IRMPublic.discomap IRMPublic.wsdl QUESTION: How in the heck can I call this aspx.vb and pass to it the dates, room type, etc.. and read the responses from within a coldfusion page? Do I use CFINVOKE and if so how? Iâm stumped, any thoughts, please?
