[cfaussie] Re: cfinvoke webservice, xml response and 'cf' datatypes
Hi Adam, what you need is an http proxy - basic principal is that you goto http://localhost:somerandomport and setup the http forwarder to listen on that port, but forward to your proper web address. Then you make your web requests as normal and you can watch the raw data being dumped through the proxy. TCPDump is a good one, and there are a bunch of them available online for free, some very simple some quite sophisticated.

Having re-read the second part of your email I'd also recommend that you're probably best off creating an xml packet to return rather than passing a native array - that way your service becomes tech agnostic and you can consume it any way you like.

And yes that should be principle not principal - more caffeine required.

Hi Adam, A very handy tool you could try is SoupUI (www.soapui.org). We use it at work to run test suites against our Java web services. You point it at the WSDL, it can generate a default request where you fill in the blanks and hit send. What you get back is the actual SOAP envelope with all the XML you will ever need :-) Well worth checking out if you are working with web services and just a simple request/response to deal with. There is even an Eclipse plug in for it! When you have the SOAP response, you can decide if you need to send XML or if the native type will be consumable from .net. It will even validate it for you! Hope this helps. Shane On 1/19/07, Adam Chapman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I am currently putting together a basic webservice which returns an array to the caller.
