Web Service Remote Access

[otisme]

Hi,

Working locally I can access a web service with the following 2 files in directory root, no mappings, no config of web service in Administrator:
<!--- /simpleTextConsume.cfm/ --->

<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="firstws" access="remote" returntype="string">
<cfreturn "Developer Center is great!">
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
<!--- simpleTextConsume.cfc/ --->
<cfinvoke
webservice=" http://127.0.0.1:8500/cbweblatest/webservices/simpleText.cfc?wsdl"
method="firstws"
returnvariable="returnedText">
</cfinvoke>

<cfoutput>
#variables.returnedText#
</cfoutput>

The error I get when I try to run http://www.myurl.com\webservices\simpleTextConsume.cfm is the following:
/*____________________________________________________
Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation.
Name: http://127.0.0.1:8500/cbweblatest/webservices/simpleText.cfc?wsdl. WSDL: http://127.0.0.1:8500/cbweblatest/webservices/simpleText.cfc?wsdl. org.xml.sax.SAXException: Fatal Error: URI=null Line=1: Next character must be ">" terminating comment ....

I've played around with trying to use a mapping and creating a webservice in admin, but get similar error, 'cant create..'

The server in question is a linux based virtual server, non enterprise edition of CF 6.1, However, I use CF8 locally, everything locally tests fine with the above, also Flash datagrid with SQL testing works fine locally.

The above not working is a major block, any pointers appreciated.

Looks like a forward slash backslash problem.

yes, thanks, some sample web services registered fine in CF Admin along with a database query, so its working fine, now...can't believe I missed the backslash..
