Hi There,

I'm looking ti access the coldfusion admin api using web services, but not from coldfusion so I cant use the normal createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin"); I've tried using SOAP to request the login method at http://mydomain.com/cfide/adminapi/administrator.cfc?wsdl but the request fails as coldfusion returns the login dialog (as it does if you try to access the WSDL from a browser.

Does anyone know if it's possible to login and access the CFIDE through standard SOAP calls rather than just through coldfusion and how I might go about it.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Hi thanks for pointing that out - I should have noticed the WSDL file didn't have any methods available before posting here.

Cheers,

You can't invoke such admin components as a web service. Even if you could it wouldn't work.

You can only call a method in a component as a webservice if its access is remote. However, the methods of the system components /cfide/adminapi/administrator.cfc, /cfide/adminapi/datasource.cfc, etc. have either public or package access. Verify this by running, for example,

<cfscript>
adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator");
adminObj.login("your_admin_password");
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#adminObj#">
