Web Services - PLEASE HELP.... EXPERT REQUIRED!!!!!!!

Question

Hi All....
I would GREATLY appreciate help on how to connect to a 3rd
parties web service please!!!! I have never before attempted this.
I have been given this information which contains example code for
other languages:
// C#
ICEPortal.ICEWebService h = new ICEPortal.ICEWebService();
ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader myHeader = new
ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader();
myHeader.Username = "[email protected]";
myHeader.Password = "password";
h.ICEAuthHeaderValue = myHeader;
ICEPortal.Brochure brochure = null;
string ErrorMsg = "";
int result = h.GetBrochure("MyMappedID", out ErrorMsg, out
brochure);
// VB
Dim h As New ICEPortal.ICEWebService
Dim myHeader As New ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader
myHeader.Username = "[email protected]"
myHeader.Password = "password"
h.ICEAuthHeaderValue = myHeader
Dim brochure As ICEPortal.Brochure
Dim result as Integer
Dim ErrorMsg as String
result = h.GetBrochure("MyMappedID", ErrorMsg, brochure)
// JScript
var h:ICEPortal.ICEWebService = new
ICEPortal.ICEWebService();
var myHeader:ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader = new
ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader();
myHeader.Username = "[email protected]";
myHeader.Password = "password";
h.ICEAuthHeaderValue = myHeader;
var brochure:ICEPortal.Brochure;
var ErrorMsg;
var result = h.GetBrochure("MyMappedID", ErrorMsg,
brochure);
AND ALSO:
"The following is a sample SOAP 1.2 request and response. The
placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values."
POST /Service.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: services.iceportal.com
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8

</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>

<ErrorMessage>string</ErrorMessage>
<IDs>
<string>string</string>
<string>string</string>
</IDs>
</GetAllBrochureIDsResponse>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>
As a start I would like to call a method "GetAllBrochureIDs",
and thought it might have been something like this:
<cfinvoke webservice="
http://services.iceportal.com/service?WSDL"
method="GetAllBrochureIDs" returnvariable="idList">
<cfinvokeargument name="username" value="myUsername">
<cfinvokeargument name="password" value="myPassword">
</cfinvoke>
<cfoutput>#idList#</cfoutput>
But clearly I am lost! Can anyone give me hand here please?
Cheers,
Aaron

Answer 1

this should get you started:
<cfscript>
ws=createObject("webservice","
http://services.iceportal.com/service.asmx?wsdl");
// are we connected?
writeoutput("<b>ws port</b>:
#ws.getPortname().toString()#");
</cfscript>
<br><br>
<cfdump var="#ws#">
crack open the "parent class" at the bottom of the dump &
you should see methods
to set user name & password, etc. --or-- i *think* once
you get the service
created ok you can go into cfadmin for webservices & add
the user name &
password & then just call the ws (also rename it to
something less wordy):
<cfscript>
// say we renamed the ws 'icePortal'
ws=createObject("webservice","icePortal");
</cfscript>
whether this is a good idea or not depends on your
environment.
post back if you get stuck.
