Hi

I am trying to send data to Bugzilla from my Coldfusion Application..and
Bugzilla uses XML-RPC, i only worked with SOAP before and havn't had any idea
on XML-RPC and tried to browse thru in google but unable to find the exact
info. needed. of how to connect to Bugzilla and Create a Bug using Bugzilla
API.. from Coldfusion.

here is my code below of how am using.

Bugzilla API Documentation is here
[b]
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html
[/b]
I am using a [b]Create[/b] Method to Create a Bug.
    [b]
    <cfinvoke webservice="http://157.238.223.201/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi"
        method="create"
        returnvariable="rpcCall"
        data="#bugdata#"
        type="responsefault">


    <cfoutput>response is: [B]#rpcCall#[/B] <br>
    did you see anything for now.. testing this script. thanks
    </cfoutput>
    [/b]

ColdFusion expects the URL value of the wsdl attribute to point to a WSDL for the service. Browsing to http://157.238.223.201/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi does not return a WSDL file.

Can you show the relevant sections of the 'bz_webservice_demo.pl' file?
I suspect therein lies the hints you need.

this is one example in php

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AutomatingBugzilla

pretty good example though but.. am not getting any response when i used the
URL directly.. into

<cfinvoke webservice="http://157.238.223.201/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi"

i found other links but those doesn't seem to work too..

I dug into this last link a bit. The link to the CFC on the page you
linked to did not work, but I found a another post which and working links.

http://support.journurl.com/users/admin/?keyword=ColdFusion+MX
http://support.journurl.com/users/admin/cfmx/xmlrpc.zip
http://support.journurl.com/users/admin/cfmx/xmlrpcservice.zip

These look fairly straight forward, but I did not try to make use of them.
