EBay API issues

So I downloaded some sample code for sending a SOAP command to the servers and I get back a response (the time).. So it works in that sense. But all it gives me in the time.. Code is as follows... ========================================================= <cfset ebayXMLObj = xmlparse(ebayHeaderXML)> <cfscript> // set the header using addSOAPRequestHeader.. an added function to CF MX 7.0 addSOAPRequestHeader(ebayWS, "urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents", "RequesterCredentials", "#ebayXMLObj#", false); </cfscript> <cfscript> // set the end point using javas _setProperty ebayWS._setProperty("javax.xml.rpc.service.endpoint.address","https://api.sandbox.ebay.com/wsapi?callname=#methodToCall#&siteid=#SiteID#&appid=#AppID#&version=#version#&Routing=#routing#"); // build geteBayOfficialTimeRequest.. timeRequest = StructNew(); timeRequest.version = variables.version; </cfscript> <!--- call the webservice ---> <cfinvoke webservice="#ebayWS#" method="#methodToCall#" returnvariable="time">   <cfinvokeargument name="geteBayOfficialTimeRequest" value="#timeRequest#"> </cfinvoke> <!--- save the output //---> <cfset eBayDateTime=time.getTimeStamp().getTime()> <p>Official eBay Date(dd.mm.yyyy)/Time(HH:mm:ss): <cfoutput>#lsDateFormat(eBayDateTime,"dd.mm.yyyy")# #lsTimeFormat(eBayDateTime,"HH:mm:ss")#</cfoutput></p> ========================================================= So I'm looking at this and I need to code it to add an item.. I got how to set the methodtocall so that I can add items and such.. But what I'm confused by is.. // build geteBayOfficialTimeRequest.. timeRequest = StructNew(); timeRequest.version = variables.version; Is this really nesserary? Is that setting up the variable that gets returned or some such? Mainly, can someone show me a "soap light" version of what is nesserary and what isn't when calling ebay?

that struct is building up the parameters to send to the SOAP Request. So, if the API requires the following parameters: <version /> <CategoryID /> <ItemName /> Then in your struct you have: <cfscript>   myRequest = structNew();   myRequest.version = "623"; myRequest.CategoryID = 20; myRequest.ItemName = "Some Item Name"; </cfscript> Now when you use the cfinvoke tag and pass the argument to it as a struct, the Soap Request takes those parameters one by one as if you were creating the elements individually. I ran into serious issues because a lot of these parameters are complex types that map to a custom Object. Even when I would try to set the parameters to be of the Object type it expected the whole thing went south. I was going to try and go the route of creating my soap requests in xml format using cfsavecontent then just use cfhttp to pass the soap requests in but I ran out of time. If you have any other questions I can try and help you out with what I know, which isn't a whole lot.
