Bean to CFC, Quirky one..

[Guest]

Well, I'm at my wits end with this one. I've had several people stare at it.

I am passing a custom data type (bean) to a function via a webservice to do updating in a database. My invoke statement looks like this.

QuoteBean = createObject("component","apps.webservices.quote");
QuoteBean.Quote_ID = 40000;
QuoteBean.Lob_ID = 2;
QuoteBean.Branch_ID = 4;

ws = createObject("webservice", " http://sanintdev01/apps/webservices/quotelog.cfc?wsdl");
ws.displayBean(QuoteBean);


My function looks like this

<cffunction name="displayBean" access="remote" returntype="quote">
<cfargument name="QuoteBean" type="quote" required="true" />
(update query)
<cfreturn QuoteBean />
</cffunction>

For some reason, when my type="quote" on my argument is set I get a type mismatch. I'm obviously passing it a complex type of "quote". No idea why it's bombing. The interesting part is, when I change that to type="any" - it runs fine.

A few things to consider which I have done.
1. I've made sure to account for case sensetivity
2. I've made sure the paths are accurate
3. I've made sure the WSDL looks good

Really stuck on this one, anyone?

Any change if you use
<cfargument name="QuoteBean" type="apps.webservices.quote" required="true" />

?

Hi,

I have noticed this as well when working with webservices, a few times I had to specify "any", never found out why, I know my answer does not help you, but your not alone. I also want to know more about this.

Don't forget to hit the "refresh" icon in the webservices section of the CFIDE/Administrator. I always forgot to do that and would be developing and testing my webservices on the same instance of CF. The caching of webservices is a pain during the development cycle, but don't forget to refresh!
