ColdFusion MX: Added this tag.

You can have multiple cfinvokeargument tags in a cfinvoke tag body.

You can use cfinvokeargument tag to dynamically determine the arguments to be passed. For example, you can use conditional processing to determine the argument name, or you can use a cfif tag to determine whether to execute the cfinvokeargument tag.

How do you pass a numeric value with cfinvokeargument ? I need to pass a numeric value to a web service.

"Should" the <cfinvokeargument> have a closing </cfinvokeargument> tag or should it be a self-closing tag i.e. <cfinvokeargument />? Or does it not require to be closed?
