simpleType and webservices

[tslow]

I am running into the same problem. Has anyone found an answer for how to send a simpleType to a webservice?

Thanks, Tim

It appears that this is fixed in CF 7, but I would appreciate any answers for
CF 6.1 as it will be many months before we can upgrade our live servers to CF
7. It seems silly that such a basic type would not be included to use in a
webservice request. In case you don't understand what a 'simpleType' is, it is
a basic enumerator for XML. Here is an example using genders: <simpleType
name='GenderType'> <restriction base='string'> <enumeration
value='Female'/> <enumeration value='Male'/> <enumeration
value='Unknown'/> </restriction> </simpleType> Hopefully someone know a way
to use simpleTypes in CF 6.1. Thanks, Tim

I am pretty sure that this fix made it in to the CFMX 6.1 updater. Try
installing that.

Tom, I'm using CFMX 6.1 with many hotfixes installed, including the Web
Services hotfix for headers (
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_18939[/url] ).
Everytime I run the request with one argument (it's a complexType that contains
a simpleType), I get the following error: Web service operation 'method' with
parameters {object={{TYPE={Value},}},} could not be found. We have one
development machine that is running CFMX 7. That machine runs the same code
flawlessly. While I'm glad that this error is resolved in the newest version,
it's a shame that we won't be able to use this web service until we complete
the upgrade, which will probably take 3-6 months. If you have any workaround
ideas, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks, Tim

Install the *updater*, not the hotfixes.

Thank you so much! I was confused by the wording of the updater. CF 6.1
Updater updates a CF 6.1 installation, it does not update to CF 6.1. I think
that it would be much clearer if it was a full upgrade to 6.2 or 6.1.1, but
naming conventions are a different matter. That fixed the bug and my
webservice requests work perfectly under 6.1. Thank you for helping me solve
this. -Tim

Don't get me started as to why we don't change version numbers when we
release "updaters". Grrrr.

Glad you solved your problem!
