Re: can't get webservice to work - VIES checkVat WSDL

You are practically there already! Just skip all the SOAP bits:

<cfscript>

    ws = CreateObject("webservice", "http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl");

   response = ws.checkVat("GB","123456789");

   nm = response.getName();

   addr = response.getAddress();

</cfscript>

<cfoutput>

Name: #nm#<br>

Address: #addr#<br>

</cfoutput>

<!--- Uncomment the following line, to see the various methods you can invoke to obtain information the response contains --->

<!--- <cfdump var="#response#"> --->

You certainly would like to know about this previous thread on the same subject.
