CF web services driving me mad

[Leigh_Mills]

Hi all,

I am attempting to consume some asp web services using CF8 and it is driving me beserk. I can connect when I am expecting nothing than multiple string or integer fields but as soon as I hit a service which is expecting a complex structure all I get is error messages back saying that web service operation with {field names} cannot be found.

Can anyone give me an example of how to build the complex structure as I have now read so many blogs that it is going around in circles.

Big thanks

Leigh

It might be signifcant that the wsdl says it wants an array and you are sending a structure.

[Leigh_Mills]

but all of the documentation i have read to date insists that it must be a structure as this is what allows CF to create the named elements correctly when processing??

[JR__Bob__Dobbs-qSBHQ2]

Can you post the entire WSDL file?
