Attributes
Usage
You can have multiple cfinvokeargument tags in a cfinvoke tag body.
You can use
cfinvokeargument tag to dynamically determine the arguments to be passed. For
example, you can use conditional processing to determine the argument name, or you can use a
cfif tag to determine whether to execute the cfinvokeargument tag.
If you are invoking a web service, you can omit a parameter by setting the
omit attribute to
"yes". If the WSDL specifies that the argument is nillable, ColdFusion MX sets the associated
argument to null. If the WSDL specifies minoccurs=0, ColdFusion MX omits the argument from
the WSDL.
