Web Service fails after update

[PeteMoss]

I have a situation in which I have a .cfm page on my server which invokes a CF
web service on the same server. Everything is fine except that when I make a
change to the web service's .cfc file, the web service invokation fails until I
rename the .cfc file and invoke it under the new file name.

It seems as if the server trys to cache the definition of the web service in
memory or something rather than recognising the fact that it has changed and
been saved. It is not until you invoke the new .cfc name that it actually goes
out and calls the new version. I am not sure if this is because the calling
page and the web service are on the same machine or not.

Any thoughts?

Are you invoking the web service into an object ie via cfobject or the CreateObject() function? If so are you setting it into a SESSION variable? If you are you can have issues like this?

[PeteMoss]

I am invoking it using the createobject function, however just into a local variable.

As an update. I have been invoking these webservice by spelling out the full
path to the wsdl file in the createobject function, rather than creating a web
service mapping in the cfadmin. I went back and deleted all of the autocreated
mappings in the admin and set up a permanent one, which I now call from the
createobject function. This seems to have cleared up the problem
