hi, i have run into an unusual behavior when invoking web services.
i am calling a web service that returns a ColdFusion XML object like this:
 
<children>
     <child>
          <firstname>john</firstname>
          <lastname>doe</lastname>
     </child>
</children>
 
when calling this web service from CF10, it works just fine. However, when calling from CF11, i only get this:
 
<child>
      <firstname>john</firstname>
      <lastname>doe</lastname>
</child>

no <children>? for some reason, CF11 ignores/hides the topmost XML level. this doesn't happen on previous versions. why? the server that hosts the web service is CF11 too.

We are unable to repro this issue, when tried with ColdFusion 11, SOAP service.

Tried with below mentioned code  :

Test code :

<cfset XML3 = XmlNew() />
<cfset xmlRoot = XmlElemNew( XML3, "", "children" ) />
<cfset XML3.XmlRoot = xmlRoot />
<cfset xmlChild = XmlElemNew( XML3, "", "child" ) />
<cfset xmlFN = XmlElemNew( XML3, "", "firstName" ) />
<cfset xmlFN.XmlText ="John">
<cfset xmlLN = XmlElemNew( XML3, "", "lastName" ) />
<cfset xmlLN.XmlText ="Doe">
<cfset ArrayAppend(xmlChild.XmlChildren,xmlFN ) />		
<cfset ArrayAppend(xmlChild.XmlChildren,xmlLN ) />	
<cfset ArrayAppend(xmlRoot.XmlChildren,xmlChild ) />
<cfset 	ws = createObject("webservice","http://<host>:<server port>/<path>/webservice.cfc?wsdl", {refreshwsdl="true"})>
		<cfset xmlCont=ws.echoXml(XML3)>


webservice.cfc:

<cfcomponent>
	<cffunction name="echoXml" access="remote" returnType="xml">	
			<cfargument name="argXml" type="xml">				
			<cfreturn argXml>		
	</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>


Application.cfc:

<cfcomponent>


 	<cfset this.name="ws_app">
	<cfset this.clientmanagement="false">
	<cfset this.sessionManagement="true">
	<cfset this.sessionTimeout = createtimespan(0,0,1,0)>
	<cfset this.applicationTimeout = createtimespan(1,0,0,0)>
    <cfset this.wssettings.version.publish = "1">
	<cfset this.wssettings.style = "rpc">
</cfcomponent>

Sent xml was similar to the received one. Please share the test code to repro and details pertaining to webservice, type and its version.

test code:

<cfset result = createObject("webservice","http://<host>:<server port>/<path>/webservice.cfc?wsdl").createXMLResponse()>

webservice.cfc

<cffunction name="CreateXmlResponse" access="public" returntype="xml">
		<!---Preparing XML Response--->
		<cfoutput>
			<cfxml variable="xmlObject" casesensitive="true">
				<children>
                                    <child>
                                        <firstname>john</firstname>
                                        <lastname>doe</lastname>
                                    </child>
                                </children>
			</cfxml>
		</cfoutput>
		<cfreturn xmlObject>
	</cffunction>

the WS is hosted in a CentOS server with CF11, called from a Mac OSX with CF11.

This is a bug with Axis 2.

In this case, the response sent by Axis 2 is not within a namespace.

   <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
      <soapenv:Body>
         <ns:CreateXmlResponseResponse xmlns:ns="http://bugCF-4058416.bugbash">
            <ns:return>
               <children1>                                    
                  <child>                                        
                     <firstname>john</firstname>                                        
                     <lastname>doe</lastname>                                    
                  </child>                                
               </children1>
            </ns:return>
         </ns:CreateXmlResponseResponse>
     </soapenv:Body>
   </soapenv:Envelope>

The actual response should be like:

   <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
      <soapenv:Body>
         <ns:echoXmlResponse xmlns:ns="http://bugCF-4058416.bugbash">
            <ns:return>
               <ns2:argXml xmlns:ns2="http://bugCF-4058416.bugbash">
                  <children1>                                    
                     <child>                                        
                        <firstname>john</firstname>                                        
                        <lastname>doe</lastname>                                    
                     </child>                                
                  </children1>
               </ns2:argXml>
            </ns:return>
         </ns:echoXmlResponse>
      </soapenv:Body>
   </soapenv:Envelope>
 
 As a workaround, we can use axis 1 to publishing and consuming the service. Change the CFC to include a "wsversion" attribute in cfcomponent tag.

 <cfcomponent wsversion="1">

   <cffunction name="CreateXmlResponse" access="remote" returntype="xml">
      <!---Preparing XML Response--->
      <cfoutput>
         <cfxml variable="xmlObject" casesensitive="true">
            <children1>
               <child>
                  <firstname>john</firstname>
                  <lastname>doe</lastname>
               </child>
            </children1>
         </cfxml>
      </cfoutput>
      <cfreturn xmlObject>
   </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>
