In the NIFA contacts search, results are returned for most combinations of input criteria; but an error is generated for many combinations of criteria. Local results are displayed first, and a web service error is displayed below.

<blockquote>Unable to retrieve IR-4 Personnel data from ir4.rutgers.edu</blockquote>

<blockquote>Reason: Cannot generate stub objects for web service invocation.</blockquote>

<blockquote> Name: http://ir4.rutgers.edu/data/pub_ir4_people.cfc?wsdl. WSDL: http://ir4.rutgers.edu/data/pub_ir4_people.cfc?wsdl. java.io.IOException: ERROR: Missing element inFault "data.pub_ir4_people.cfcCFCInvocationException" in operation "data.pub_ir4_people.cfcCFCInvocationException", in binding getIR4people It is recommended that you use a web browser to retrieve and examine the requested WSDL document to ensure it is correct. If the requested WSDL document cannot be retrieved or is dynamically generated, it is likely that the target web service has programming errors. </blockquote>

http://ir4.rutgers.edu/data/pub_ir4_people.cfc?wsdl
Returns a valid WSDL document.

http://ir4.rutgers.edu/data/pub_ir4_people.cfc?method=getIR4people&role=-1&state=&Lastname=&USDARegion=
Returns an XML result. Seems to be all records.

It looks like the problem may be that ir4.rutgers.edu is running CF 10 and we are running CF 8. This may introduce incompatibilities in how webservices are handled.

Using the ?wsdl parameter rather than ?wsdl2 should retrieve an Axis-1 format WSDL document, which CF8 can handle; rather than an Axis-2 format WSDL document, which it can't. Not sure why it doesn't work, upgrading to CF 10 should fix the problem. I was able to add the webservice on a local copy of CF 10 without errors.
