Enables you to omit a parameter when invoking a web service. It is an error to specify "yes": omit this parameter when invoking a web service. "no": do not omit this parameter when invoking a web service. |
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.
