Consuming web services that are not generated by Macromedia ColdFusion MX

To consume a web service that is implemented in a technology other than ColdFusion MX, the web service must have one of the following sets of options:

The following example shows a portion of the WSDL file for the TemperatureService web service:

<binding name="TemperatureBinding" type="tns:TemperaturePortType">
	<soap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
	<operation name="getTemp">
		<soap:operation soapAction=""/>
		<input>
			<soap:body use="encoded" namespace="urn:xmethods-Temperature" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
		</input>
		<output>
			<soap:body use="encoded" namespace="urn:xmethods-Temperature" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
		</output>
	</operation>
</binding>

The WSDL file for the TemperatureService web service is compatible with ColdFusion MX because it uses rpc as the binding style, and encoding as the encodingStyle.
