Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation.

Trying to consume a .NET web service, this code throws an error:
---------------------------CODE--------------------------------------

<cfinvoke webservice=" http://www.xmlme.com/WSDailyNet.asmx?WSDL" method="getDotnetDailyFact" returnvariable="aString">

Has anyone encountered this before? We run IIS6 with CFMX 7.02 on JRun4 Updater 6 in distributed mode.

I just ran your example code and I received the following result. If
this is not the expected result, I would read this as a programming
error in the ASP web service code


<cfinvoke webservice=" http://www.xmlme.com/WSDailyNet.asmx?WSDL"
method="getDotnetDailyFact" returnvariable="aString">
<cfoutput>#aString#</cfoutput>

"The MyBase keyword in VB.NET can be used to call base class properties
or methods from a derived class that has overridden these properties or

This worked fine for me as is on CFMX 7.02 on linux. I got:

Daily DotNet for 01/29/2007 is

Thanks, Mike, for testing it.
A couple of additional questions might help our suspicion of the root issue:
(1) Are you running ColdFusion in distributed mode, i.e. web server is on a separate physical server from the JRun-CFMX server?

(2) Is your test installation outside of your firewall and using NAT?

Thanks,
Scott

Correction to my previous post:
(2) Is your test installation outside your firewall, or if behind a firewall, is it using NAT?
Thanks,
Scott

1)No, I tested this where cf, jrun and apache are on the same server.
2)Behind a firewall using a nat

Thanks, Mike. We tracked down the problem: firewall required that the developer use proxy settings and now the web service is accessible and the response is making it back via the proxy.
