NOAA Weather Web Service

[kaypro4]

I'm having a tough time getting the NDFDgen method to work for the NOAA web
serivice. Here is the documentation on the service itself:

[url]http://weather.gov/xml/[/url]

The calling code is below:


<cfinvoke
method="NDFDgen"
webservice="http://weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl"
latitude="38.99"
longitude="-77.99"
product="glance"
startTime="2004-01-01T00:00:00"
endTime="2009-07-29T00:00:00"
weatherParameters="maxt = TRUE"
Returnvariable="foo">

</cfinvoke>
<cfoutput>#foo#</cfoutput>

I had some challenges with that myself, but the attached code does seem to work
for me. I'm not sure if the CFINVOKEARGUMENT tag is required, but it does work.
