I suspect you have specified the ‘name’ attribute on the CFHTTP tag. Remove it as CF tries to generate a query object based upon the results in the reponse body.

Iam getting the below error . Can you please help us ?
The column name is invalid.
Column names must be valid variable names. They must start with a letter and can only include letters, numbers, and underscores.

Saved my life
After days of trial and error trying to consume a .net web service I got it cracked using your example.
Thanks

Another potential reason for using this is if CF doesn’t know how to map your data to the WSDL, which is unfortunately common for complex types.

I suspect that is happening because you have some whitespace at the beginning of your xml string.

Make sure you trim any whitespace before making the request.
