Web service invokation problem

[marekss]

Hi,
I am having problem when consuming .net web service. This web service expects xmlobject which I create using <cfxml> tag. I have used <cfinvoke> and CreateObject without any success.
First I get following error message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
After I refresh few times (15 or so) I get following error message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.ClassCastException@1645559. I am not sure wher is the problem.

Thanks,
Mark

Can you post the WSDL and your code?

[Dan_Bracuk]

What do you think the phrase, "argument type mismatch" means?

[marekss]

My method placeOrder is expecting complex datatype. There is a placeOrderString method that i tested succesfully which accepts a xml document as a string

I am supplying xml document above with sample data and it is working with placeOrderString method using Get Http request.
When using placeOrder and supplying same xmldocument created using <cfxml> it fails.
Why there is a differnt error message after i refresh the page numerous times?

Thanks for any help
Mark

An XML document object created by <cfxml> is particularly a Coldfusion object. Chances are, it is unknown to .NET. What happens when you invoke the service using XML as text instead?

[marekss]

When I supply a string I get following error:
coldfusion.xml.rpc.ServiceProxy$ServiceMethodNotFoundException: Web service operation "placeOrder" with parameters

Here is a code _placeOrder.java generated using wsdl2java.exe utility:

/**

* This file was auto-generated from WSDL

package com.domain.services;

public class _PlaceOrder implements java.io.Serializable {
private com.domain.services._PlaceOrder_orderData orderData;

public _PlaceOrder() {
}

public com.domain.services._PlaceOrder_orderData getOrderData() {
return orderData;
}

public void setOrderData(com.domain.services._PlaceOrder_orderData orderData) {
this.orderData = orderData;
}

private java.lang.Object __equalsCalc = null;
public synchronized boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj) {
if (!(obj instanceof _PlaceOrder)) return false;
_PlaceOrder other = (_PlaceOrder) obj;
if (obj == null) return false;
if (this == obj) return true;
if (__equalsCalc != null) {
return (__equalsCalc == obj);
}
__equalsCalc = obj;
boolean _equals;
_equals = true &&
((this.orderData==null && other.getOrderData()==null) ||
(this.orderData!=null &&
this.orderData.equals(other.getOrderData())));
__equalsCalc = null;
return _equals;
}

private boolean __hashCodeCalc = false;
public synchronized int hashCode() {
if (__hashCodeCalc) {
return 0;
}
__hashCodeCalc = true;
int _hashCode = 1;
if (getOrderData() != null) {
_hashCode += getOrderData().hashCode();
}
__hashCodeCalc = false;
return _hashCode;
}

> When I supply a string I get following error

What happens when you do something along these lines:

<cfsavecontent variable="xmlString"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Orders>
<Order>
...
etc. etc.
...
</Order>
</Orders>
</cfsavecontent>

<cfset ws_obj = CreateObject("webservice", " http://host/webservices/orderentry/orderentry.asmx?WSDL")>
<cfset ws_ret_ = ws_obj.placeOrder(xmlString)>

[marekss]

When I use <cfsavecontent variable="xmlobject"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
as suggested above i get following error:
Web service operation "placeOrder" with parameters { N public Y 23423 43242 Joe Test 11 Test Ave Town Hall Bethlehem NY 112222323 US N DC NC N} could not be found.

When i supply xmldocument generated by <cfxml> i get argument type mismatch. are there complex data types that can not be represented using cf structures, arrays etc.?
Is it possible that this web service I can consume only using .net?

Any help would be appreciated
Here is a part of the wsdl that defines placeOrder:

[BKBK · Accepted solution]

Just realized we've been thrashing around for nothing. There are as yet no universal standards for passing XML as arguments to Web service methods. Coldfusion has its own, as do .NET and Java.

The common currency among all web services is SOAP. Hence, one universal way of passing XML, from any client to a web service on any platform, is as a SOAP document.

In your case, you would construct a SOAP document which includes your XML. You could then pass it to the web service using <cfhttp>. I googled and found a fully worked out example in houseOfFusion.

[marekss]

Thanks so much BKBK for your help, after following your suggestions I was able to consume this web service using <cfhttp> method.

I'm glad to hear.
