Nice ColdFusion 8 web services enhancement

Something I just came across by accident...
Imagine you have this block of code:
<cfscript>
ws = createObject("webservice","http://www.mydomain.com/webservice.cfc?wsdl");
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#ws#">
ws = createObject("webservice","http://www.mydomain.com/webservice.cfc?wsdl");
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#ws#">
ColdFusion will then dump and display the object representing the webservice stub that has been generated. In ColdFusion 7 you'd get a list of methods as shown in the example below. It isn't obvious where the webservice remote methods are as usually they would be mixed together with various Java service stub methods. Also, any parameters required by the remote methods are not listed.
In ColdFusion 8, the output from CFDUMP has been improved so that the service methods are more obvious and any arguments the methods expect are also listed.
Nice!
