Ok, I have to say it….  I have never actually used a
webservice.  OK, there it is.  I said it.  Please
forgive me.

To justify myself, my employer has 1 site on cf6 and just recently has
one hosted on cf7, and I maintain a bunch of sites on a cf5
server.  So I have not had much occasion to need to talk between
the sites.  However that all changed today and I got right into it.

However I found out quite quckly that there can be more to this than
meets the eye.  After writing up a cute little component and
checking that I could hit it form the url and pass in the method, as
well as enusing that it sent out proper wsdl when asked, I called my
webservice with cfinvoke.

coldfusion.jsp.CompilationFailedException: Errors reported by Java
compiler: /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/bin/jikesw: error while loading
shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory .

I am not sure if such dependencies exist on windows but with cf 6 and 7
on linux you must have the compat-libstdc++ package installed.  On
fedora core 1 that was as easy as `yum install compat-libstdc++` and it
was taken care of.

But just in case I am not the last person on earth to cross this problem, I thought I would post about it.
