Serious, intermittent errors with CF Web Service

Question

We\'ve got an incredibly frustrating situation with a CF Web Services-based API that we wrote and maintain. We had an API in place for years that was stable and working happily

Answer 1

How are the external clients interacting with your webservice? Just via the WSDL I presume?

Is it possible that some client app, a unit test... something, anything ... has a wrong URL... has a URL to your WSDL file with the "tafkan" in it?

If I were working on it, probably the first avenue I'd look down would be figuring out what could possibly result in that problem. Is "tafkan" a valid directory in your system? Where do the .cfc files actually live on the file system, what if any mappings are there to these paths in CF Admin, and what are the URLs that people are using to access your webservice?

The key here, I believe, is getting inside CF's head and asking it "why would you generate, and be looking for, a class with "tafkan" as a package?
