WSDL Complex Data Types Call

[Mike Paim]

Hello.

I've tried everything I can to make a call to a WSDL service. I know that the
service uses complex data types/structures. I've followed the instructions in
the ColdFusionMX second edition book by O'Reilley but no luck.

Can someone provide a working example on how to connect to the following call:
[url]http://london.assuredsystemsinc.com:4152/RubiesServices/RubiesWeb.wsdl[/url]

Thank you.
Michael

Is that address supposed to be visible to the outside world? Can't get to it using 2 different ISP's.

Anyways, is the web services server you're trying to talk to running Coldfusion as well?

[Mike Paim]

Yes, it should be visible. I just tried it and I could view it in the browser.

It's written in Java and hosted on another company's server.

I should be able to pass in a variable like "cust" and a value of 464130 and
get a return,
for the service "getCustomer" but all I get are errors.

Thanks

Test it out via Xmethods here: [url]http://www.mindreef.net/tide/scopeit/start.do?referer=xmethods&url=http://london.assuredsystemsinc.com:4152/RubiesServices/RubiesWeb.wsdl[/url]

This is GREAT! Is the XMethods part of the normal program? I downloaded
MindReef's program the other day and started going through the tutorial. The
web service was down so I couldn't finish testing. Or is there something
special you had to set up with XMethods?

Also, so it seems like my test just now of GetCustomer is correct. It must be
the ColdFusion code that I'm passing in. In one of 2 areas...

1. Looks like maybe the variable name for GetCustomer that I need to pass in
is "long_1" is that correct?
2. How do i write the code for complex calls? When I do a regular call and
pass in only "cust" it's bombing out on all the other calls in this service.
Almost as if I need to pass multiple values, items for the other calls.

Thanks!
