cfinvoke

<!--- Syntax 1: This syntax invokes a method of a component. Improve this example ---> 
<cfinvoke 
component = "component name or reference" 
method = "method name" 
returnVariable = "variable name" 
argumentCollection = "argument collection" 
...> 

OR 

<!--- Syntax 2: This syntax can invoke a method of a component only from within the component. ---> 
<cfinvoke 
method = "method name" 
returnVariable = "variable name" 
argumentCollection = "argument collection" 
...> 

OR 

<!--- Syntax 3: This syntax invokes a web service. ---> 
<cfinvoke 
webservice = "Web service name or WSDL URL" 
method = "operation name" 
password = "password" 
proxyPassword = "password for proxy server" 
proxyPort = "port on proxy server" 
proxyServer = "WSDL proxy server URL" proxyUser = "user ID for proxy server" 
returnVariable = "variable name" 
refreshWSDL = "yes|no" 
servicePort = "WSDL port name" 
timeout = "request timeout in seconds" 
username = "user name" 
wsdl2javaArgs = "argument string">

<!--- Syntax 4A: This syntax invokes a component. 
This syntax shows instantiation with the cfobject tag. 
This cfinvoke syntax applies to instantiating a component 
with the cfobject tag and to instantiating a component 
with the CreateObject function. ---> 
<cfobject 
component = "component name" 
name = "name for instantiated component"> 
<cfinvoke 
<!--- Value is object name, within number signs. ---> 
component = "#name of instantiated component#" 
method = "method name" 
returnVariable = "variable name" 
argumentCollection = "argument collection" 
...> 

OR 

<!--- Syntax 4B: This syntax invokes a web service. 
This syntax shows instantiation with the cfobject tag. 
This cfinvoke syntax applies to instantiating a web service with the cfobject tag and to 
instantiating a web service with the CreateObject function. ---> 
<cfobject 
webservice = "web service name or WSDL URL" 
name = "name for instantiated object" 
(optional cfobject attibutes)> 
<cfinvoke 
webservice = "#cfobject name attribute value#"

<!--- Immediate instantiation and destruction. ---> 
<cfinvoke 
component="nasdaq.quote" 
method="getLastTradePrice" 
returnVariable="res"> 
<cfinvokeargument 
name="symbol" 
value="macr"> 
</cfinvoke> 
<cfoutput>#res#</cfoutput>

<!--- Passing the arguments using argumentCollection. ---> 
<cfset args = StructNew()> 
<cfset args.symbol = "macr"> 
<cfinvoke 
component="nasdaq.quote" 
method="getLastTradePrice" 
argumentCollection="#args#" 
returnVariable="res"> 
<cfoutput>#res#</cfoutput>

<!--- Called only from within a component, MyComponent. ---> 
<cfinvoke 
method = "a method name of MyComponent" 
returnVariable = "variable name">

<!--- Using cfinvoke to consume a web service using a ColdFusion component. ---> 
<cfinvoke 
webservice="http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/TemperatureService.wsdl" 
method="getTemp" 
returnvariable="aTemp"> 
<cfinvokeargument name="zipcode" value="55987"/> 
</cfinvoke> 
<cfoutput>The temperature at zip code 55987 is #aTemp#</cfoutput>

<!--- Separate instantiation and method invocation; useful for multiple invocations using 
different methods or values. ---> 
<cfobject 
name="quoteService" 
component="nasdaq.quote"> 
<cfinvoke 
component="#quoteService#" 
method="getLastTradePrice"

method="getLastTradePrice" 
symbol="mot" 
returnVariable="res_mot"> 
<cfoutput>#res#</cfoutput>
