Webservice newbie question

Report · Nov 23, 2015

I am setting up a web service on my Coldfusion 10 server.

I created this CFC...

</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

I try to call it like this...

<cfinvoke

webservice = "#wsURL#"

method = "helloWorld"

returnVariable = "result">

<cfoutput> <H1> #result# </H1></cfoutput>

I get this error

Cannot perform web service invocation helloWorld.

The fault returned when invoking the web service operation is:

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: DOCTYPE is not allowed

The error occurred in D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cf-bin/Jay/jwshello.cfm: line 5

3 : webservice = "#wsURL#"

4 : method = "helloWorld"

5 : returnVariable = "result">

6 : <cfoutput> <H1> #result# </H1></cfoutput>

7 :

I am new to webservices in CF and not sure how to resolve.

I have done some searching but nothing has helped me understand my issue here.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Your code seems to be alright. Your error message suggests a bug. Two thngs I can think of are:

1) You should update Coldfusion. You can do this via the Administrator;

2) You could experiment by explicitly specifying Axis 2. That is, use <cfset wsURL = "http://txedtylvms031/cf-bin/Components/hello.cfc?wsdl2">

If all else fails, report a bug.
