I have been trying to make Webservice call to "https://webservice.exacttarget.com/etframework.wsdl" using coldfusion server 9.0 without much success. My code recognizes WSDL and it methods but When I call method it throws following error:

Web service operation Describe with parameters {{DESCRIBEREQUESTS={[Lcom.et.client.ObjectDefinitionRequest;@78b0e1}}} cannot be found.

Please suggest.....



MyCode CFM file code:

    Dear All Technology Expert's,

    I have a query related to Coldfusion SOAP services, that is most commonly asked in all the forum's but NONE of them has got answer.

    If there is NO solution so I think Adobe has to come up with some patches so developer can able to do some customization.

    I like to share with you all, in all other language ( PHP, JAVA, .NET etc) this option is available and you can customize the error.

    Ok let me again explain the very basic error:

    SOAP Request:

    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

       <soapenv:Header/>

       <soapenv:Body>

        

       </soapenv:Body>

    </soapenv:Envelope>

    SOAP Response:

      <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

       <soapenv:Body>

          <soapenv:Fault>

             <faultcode>soapenv:Server.userException</faultcode>

             <faultstring>java.lang.Exception: Body not found.</faultstring>

             <detail>

                <ns1:stackTrace xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">java.lang.Exception: Body not found.

      at org.apache.axis.providers.java.RPCProvider.processMessage(RPCProvider.java:121)...</ns1:stackTrace>

                <ns2:hostname xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">Coldfusion Error</ns2:hostname>

             </detail>

          </soapenv:Fault>

       </soapenv:Body>

    </soapenv:Envelope>

    HOW we can customize the error, in all other languages you can simple customize the error like

    Other languages SOAP response:

      <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

       <soapenv:Body>

          <soapenv:Fault>

             <faultcode>BODY_NOT_FOUND</faultcode>

             <faultstring>Body is missing in your request</faultstring>

            

          </soapenv:Fault>

       </soapenv:Body>

    </soapenv:Envelope>

    But the same is NOT possible in Coldfusion, right?

    AS you know it is vulnerability to display exception messages in the response.

    We are developing this web service to access  from other language website (PHP, .NET).

    We are also planning to upgrade server the Coldfusion 11, but do you think there is any solution with latest Coldfusion version.

    Please response only if you know about these issue's or solution. 

    Thanks

    You will gain little by asking the same question in multiple places in the forum. In fact, many might consider it annoying or even spam.

    This question is being discussed in the thread that HaroonTyagi started. (Are you HaroonTyagi, by chance?) I will post an answer there shortly.

    Heya,

    I've just commenced work on an integration project requiring ExactTarget API access to a CRM application built in CF. Decided to do a quick online search for code examples before tackling it myself and came across this post. I haven't given the following page's example code a test run myself but will be in the next day or so. Until then, check this page out and see if that sheds some light on the matter.

    Off the top my head and based on the ExactTarget API documentation I've read thus far I'd say its safe to conclude you're problem can be fixed since there is no reason for ColdFusion to be unable to communicate with ExactTarget's API. The API supports Apache AXIS and Java, both of which are already built-in to ColdFusion. Apache AXIS is the Java based webservice implementation ColdFusion uses for serving and connecting webservices so in theory it shouldn't be a battle getting the two to cooperate. You're not using CF's <CFINVOKE> or createObject() method of handling webservices but instead going for a Java based SOAP method which may be the cause of your issues as I don't know if that way would be going through AXIS but I'd assume it would. I'll post back here if the linked page below doesn't work and I'm able to work it out.

    http://paulalkema.com/post.cfm/how-to-subscribe-a-user-in-exact-target-via-their-api

    A workaround option would be to focus on the Apache AXIS version used in your CF9 installation and ensure it is a supported build, otherwise you can update CF9's Apache AXIS installation yourself. I'll be giving this a go if I run into problems so will let you know.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    Any success on implementing Exact Target API using Coldfusion.

    I have no luck on this, would highly appreciate if I get any help.

    Thanks

    I did not but someone else at the same company did - I believe he did find a

    way with Javi to do the authentication piece and then is using soap

    envelopes to do the other part.

    Where are you stuck at?

    Did you find a solution to this issue?

    Was wondering if your authentication is working, and if it is, are you using the native version of AXIS that ships with CF9? What version is that?

    No, I spent lot of time with no sucess.

    Now I understand why Adobe Coldfusion is less adapative. No one from coldfusion product team attempted to answer.

    Also there is no documentation on authentication and error codes. If Coldfusion team is looking into it, please open your heart/time and provide some guidence.

    Thanks,
