For instance cfinvoke gets the WSDL and generates Java artifacts (via Apache Axis) that it then compiles and invokes to consume the service. For AJAX, the access="remote" ... read more »

  Ben, You should at least be using cfajaxproxy! The whole application can be written with the new ColdFusion 8 AJAX tags, right? :-) Something for another entry perhaps? Keep up the great postings.... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 8: Javascript Object Notation (JSON) Part II - Remote Method Calls

  Posted on Jun 15, 2007 at 2:59 PM

  Hi Ben, I am afraid that the returnFormat attribute is also ignored for web services. What you are seeing is ColdFusion converting the Java objects that the Axis web service engine creates in to things that CFML can use. The only thing that travels between a cfinvoke and a CFC web service is SOAP... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 8: CFImage Part II - Tag Based Image Manipulation

  Posted on Jun 15, 2007 at 11:18 AM

  The behavior of not overwriting the images in place is something we did on purpose to prevent a large number of bytes of memory getting wasted. The work flow is expected to be: - Read image - Perform multiple operations on image - Write image Thus we take care not to make multiple copies during pr... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 8: CFImage Part I - Reading And Writing Images
