It is completely incorrect. <br />This section describes 3 CFCs. A name.cfc, address.cfc, and echo.cfc. The echo.cfc is supposed to accept an instance of name.cfc and address.cfc and "echo" them back as return parameters.<br /><br />[copied from above]<br /><cfcomponent><br /> <cffunction name="echoName" returnType="name" access="remote"><br /> <cfargument name="input" type="name"><br /> <cfreturn #arguments.input#><br /> </cffunction><br /> <cffunction name="echoAddress" returnType="address" access="remote"><br /> <cfargument name="input" type="address"><br /> <cfreturn #arguments.input#><br /> </cffunction><br /></cfcomponent><br /><br />One *cannot* actually pass instances of name.cfc or address.cfc when calling these echoXXX functions via web services using <cfinvoke> as the text undeniably implies. In reality, CFMX thinks the instances of name.cfc and address.cfc are not the correct argument type and will throw an InvalidArgumentException. mattj@montarasoftware.com 0 0 2004-08-29T21:34:05 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applications_with_CFML/webservices5.htm#10984 When you change a Web Service CFC, ColdFusion does not update the WSDL descriptor for the service. Macromedia supports refreshing the WSDL using the Administrator. The technique listed in the web forum thread mentioned in joe_tseng's post is not supported and might not work in future releases. jrunrandy 1 0 2004-03-15T08:53:50 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applications_with_CFML/webservices5.htm#10783 Changes made during development with CFC's may not be usable even if the CFC file is saved; if changes are made to a web services client that consumes a given CFC's web service, an error will result when it's executed. There seems to be some issue with the caching of the WSDL description.
