Tom Jordahl Rocks! - How to consume web services in ColdFusion

July 3, 2008 · 1 Comment

I've been struggling to consume a particular document-literal web service for the last couple of weeks and nothing I tried quite worked. Tom Jordahl @ Adobe, who wrote all the original Axis integration for ColdFusion MX and has been one of the primary committers for the Axis project, has posted a series of "must-read" articles if you are trying to consume third-party web services in ColdFusion: In particular, the third post addressed an issue I'd run into that I finally pinged Tom about after exhausting everything I could think of. In about 30 minutes, he'd figured out the problem and sent me a workaround. So, even tho' Tom is off doing Blaze DS and LCDS these days, he's still producing rocking blog posts about ColdFusion - go Tom!

    A few years ago I had to try to consume the eBay web service. My god what a disaster that was. Thank god for WSDL2Java.

    Dunno if it's changed but that eBay SOAP WS was the bane of my existence.
