Using WS Stubs in CFINVOKE Tags

[Darryl A. J. Staflund]

Hi there,

I am developing a CF family of web service components that make use of complex
data types. I've noticed that CFMX generates stub Java classes based on the
WSDL files that I am working with that I can access as Java objects from within
CFMX. This is nice, because, similar to Java and .NET practices, I should be
able to use these classes to publish and consume web services with.

Alas, I don't seem able to do this in practice, however, because CFMX only
seems to accept structs as arguments to the <cfinvoke /> tag or web service
invocation method. For example, although I can do this:

....<cfset val = StructNew () />
....<cfset val.a = "a" />
....<cfset val.b = "b" />
....
....<cfset ws = CreateObject ("webservice",
"http://web.service.goes.here/a?wsdl") />
....<cfset ws.invokedMethod (args = val) />

I don't seem able to do this:

....<cfset stub = CreateObject ("java", "cfmx.autogenerated.ws.stub.Here") />
....<cfset stub.setA ("a") />
....<cfset stub.setB ("b") />
....
....<cfset ws = CreateObject ("webservice",
"http://web.service.goes.here/a?wsdl") />
....<cfset ws.invokedMethod (args = stub) />

Is there any way in CFMX that I can achieve this result without have to create
structs all the time?

Thanks,
Darryl Staflund
