Problem with consuming document/literal web services.

[JpShields]

I'm having problems consuming a document literal web service with <cfinvoke> in
a CFM page. I'm receiving the following error.

Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation.
Name: [url]http://xxxxxxx[/url]. WSDL: [url]http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/url].
java.lang.NullPointerException It is recommended that you use a web browser to
retrieve and examine the requested WSDL document for correctness. If the
requested WSDL document can't be retrieved or it is dynamically generated, it
is likely that the target web service has programming errors.

I retrieved the WSDL through the browser with out issue. Is there anything
else I can do? I can easily consume RPC-encoded but I can't get data back from
document-literal. Any help with consuming them instead of just publishing them
would be great!

Thank you

Hey,

Whenever I get this problem, it's because the reference to the wsdl file is
wrong. When a web service is called the first time it generates stub objects,
which consist of a directory and class files, etc, on the service host's web
server. If CF can't find the service, it informs the requester that it
couldn't generate the stub objects. It would be much more helpful if the error
message read: 'couldn't find the web service specified in the invokation needed
to generate the stub objects' or something.

Just double check your URL and see if it is going to
[url]http://www.mydomain.com/coolservice.cfc?wsdl[/url]
Most people forget the ?wsdl
