Web service invokation problem

I'm glad to hear.

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

> 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)>

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

/**
* _PlaceOrder.java
*
* This file was auto-generated from WSDL
* by the Apache Axis WSDL2Java emitter.
*/

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;
}

// Type metadata
private static org.apache.axis.description.TypeDesc typeDesc =
new org.apache.axis.description.TypeDesc(_PlaceOrder.class);

static {
typeDesc.setXmlType(new javax.xml.namespace.QName(" http://services.domain.com/", ">PlaceOrder"));
org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc elemField = new org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc();
elemField.setFieldName("orderData");
elemField.setXmlName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName(" http://services.domain.com/", "orderData"));
elemField.setXmlType(new javax.xml.namespace.QName(" http://services.domain.com/", ">PlaceOrder>orderData"));
elemField.setMinOccurs(0);
typeDesc.addFieldDesc(elemField);
}

/**
* Return type metadata object
*/
public static org.apache.axis.description.TypeDesc getTypeDesc() {
return typeDesc;
}

/**
* Get Custom Serializer
*/
public static org.apache.axis.encoding.Serializer getSerializer(
java.lang.String mechType,
java.lang.Class _javaType,
javax.xml.namespace.QName _xmlType) {
return
new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializer(
_javaType, _xmlType, typeDesc);
}

/**
* Get Custom Deserializer
*/
public static org.apache.axis.encoding.Deserializer getDeserializer(
java.lang.String mechType,
java.lang.Class _javaType,
javax.xml.namespace.QName _xmlType) {
return
new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializer(
_javaType, _xmlType, typeDesc);
}

}

}

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

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?

Here is my code;
<cfxml variable="xmlobject">
<cfoutput>

<cfdump var="#ws_obj#">
<cfset ws_ret_ = ws_obj.placeOrder(#xmlobject#)>

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

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