Web service example in CF7 Maual works?

[Howard Perlman]

I'm starting trying to learn about web services. The CF7 Developer's Guide, on
P. 892, Chapter 36 has example code that I'm trying in a CFM page. The code
is: <cfinvoke
webservice='http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/TemperatureService.wsdl'
method='getTemp' returnvariable='aTemp'> <cfinvokeargument name='zipcode'
value='55987'/> </cfinvoke> <cfoutput>The temperature at zip code 55987 is
#aTemp#</cfoutput> I get this error: 'Could not perform web service invocation
'getTemp'. ' This seems like an example that is very basic, so I'd like to see
it working. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it (or is the problem with
the service?). If not, does someome have a simple example? Thanks Howard

It looks like it's a problem with the service. You can try this one:

<cfinvoke
webservice="http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl"
method="getRate" returnvariable="aRate">
<cfinvokeargument name="country1" value="usa"/>
<cfinvokeargument name="country2" value="mexico"/>
</cfinvoke>
<cfoutput>The exchange rate from usa to mexico is #aRate#</cfoutput>

Hello Kronin, Well, as a woman here says ... 'cool beans'. That is really
neat. I even changed it to Canada and got a new rate. I'm going to build a
front end to it, as we're trying to show how CF can work with web services
(which I've never done yet). Thanks

Where do I get a list of the webservices available? Do I have to register
with IBM to get the UDDI register? Thanks

There is a good list of publicly accessible services at [url]www.xmethods.org[/url].
