CF Web Servies help needed - newbie
jl
I am having trouble with getting a CF web service to work. I have a
.cfc file named
WSTry.cfc. I am using the <cfinvoke> tag to consume the web service.
<cfinvoke
webservice="someURL/WSTry.cfc?wsdl"
method="getMessage"
returnvariable="aString">
<cfinvokeargument name="aname" value="Joe"/>
<!---<cfinvokeargument name="theArray" value="tarray"/> --->
</cfinvoke>
When I change the argument name in both the cfinvoke and the .cfc file
to "name" it works fine, however when I use "aname" for the argument
name I get the following error
Web service parameter name "name" could not be found in the provided
parameters {aname}.
The error occurred in someURL\WSTry.cfm: line 32
30 : method="getMessage"
31 : returnvariable="aString">
32 : <cfinvokeargument name="aname" value="Joe"/>
33 : <!---<cfinvokeargument name="theArray" value="tarray"/> --->
34 : </cfinvoke>
If I hit the .cfc page directly from the browser it returns the SOAP
XML just fine. That listing is at the end. If anyone has any
suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
