How to connect to a web service???

Former Community Member


I am banging my head on how to produce the appropriate code
to connect to a

web service I created locally.



I have a local web service:




http://localhost:8500/cfc/getprojects.cfc?wsdl



I am trying to figure out how to write a correct
<mx:WebService> to connect

to it so I can go on and bang my head on how to then bind the
results to

Labels.



I am attempting to follow the manual on this topic but it
goes all over the

place and my newbie mind can't wrap my head around it.



I tried this:

<mx:WebService id="get_projects"

wsdl="
http://localhost:8500/cfc/getprojects.cfc?wsdl"
useProxy="false"/>

</mx:WebService>



But I keep getting: The prefix "mx" for element
"mx:WebService" is not

bound.



I tried to find out more about it and thought I had to add:



<mx:operation name="getProjects">

<mx:request>

<projecttitle>????</projecttitle>

</mx:request>

</mx:operation>



But I have no idea on what to put in the request section per
each title

(<projecttitle>)



And anyone show me how to write a correct
<mx:WebService> statement to be

able to connect to my web service?!



And if anyone is really bored:



The query results in 5 fields of data (project_title,
p_height, p_width,

p_type, live)



How do I then bind the project_title results to a label?

For information on integrating ColdFusion web services with
Flex, I'd recommend you take a look at the "ColdFusion/Flex
Connectivity" on Adobe Labs. This article includes complete code
examples -

Have you got rpc.swc in your project classpath?
