Using webservice to pass xml

[ericaalicen]

I'm using cfinvoke to pass an xml structure to a cfc. This seems to work fine if I use cfdump to output the XML. But when I try to parse the XML, I get an error "An error occured while Parsing an XML document."

At the moment, I'm creating and parsing my own XML data. And the code I use to create and parse the data works, until I pass it through the webservice. I've tried enclosing the XML in a toString() and that doesn't work.

This is my invoke statement.

<cfinvoke 
  webservice="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domain.com/temp/myComponent.cfc?wsdl"[/URL]
  method="setBatch"
  returnvariable="sService" header="#batchSummary#" myList="#myList#">
</cfinvoke>

And here's the .cfc it's calling.

<cfcomponent>
  <cffunction name="setBatch" returnType="void" access="remote">
    <cfargument name = "header" type = "xml">
    <cfargument name = "myList" type = "xml">
  <cfoutput>
  <cfdump var="#arguments.header#">
  <cfdump var="#arguments.myList#">
  <cfset tempObj = Trim(arguments.myList)>
	  
	<!-- parse our  xml data -->
	<cfset mydoc = XmlParse(#tempObj#)>
  </cfoutput>
  </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Any ideas?

I figured this out. It took awhile. Seems ColdFusion treats type="xml" as xml text not an xml object. I had to pass the xml as type="string" to be able to parse the xml.
