You may be refering to the MSXML XMLHttpRequest Object. This can be
accessed via cfobject, and can be used to send a HTTP request.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp
Platform SDK -> Data Services -> XML 2.5 SDK -> XML Referance -> XML DOM
referance -> XMLHttpRequest
This would typically be used in a PULL senario rather than the PUSH senario
your describing below.
I have found the best way to communicate via XML is serving it up via HTTP
(a web page) and allowing the receiver to grab it at their regularly.
We have released a custom tag (XMLParse) for free that allows for XML
requests via HTTP and parses the XML document into a complex CFML structure.
It is open source, free, and should provide you with a solid example on how
to integrate MSXML with CF. You can find more information here:
http://www.siteobjects.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=showproducts
XMLParse will be gone in a couple weeks when we release our All-in-One XML
super tag (a free, open-source goodie). The tag will perform the following
actions:
XML2CF (Basically a newer release of XMLParse)
XML2DOM (Loads the XML document into a valid XML DOM object accessed via CF)
XML2HTML (Displays the XML document as IE does but INLINE! very cool, for
debugging)
CF2XML (Transforms any CF variable into a valid XML document)
CF2XMLDOM (Transforms any CF variable into a valid XML DOM object accessed
via CF)
If you would like more information and the an announcement when we release
it drop me an email.
Sorry for the plug, I wouldn't do this for a commercial product but since
this will be open source and free I hope no one minds. If you do let me
know, privately.
Happy Coding,
Brett Suwyn

| Subject: XML Sending Parsing not WDDX (Java)??
|
|
| Hi,
|
| I've developed a CF app that when a user hits a page it produces XML that
| they can then parse and put on their own site. The XML is just embedded in
| the page as either my own "made-up generic" form or WDDX.
|
| So far so good. It works much like moreover.com
|
| But, I've become concerened - Is there another standard way to communicate
| XML aside from putting it on a web page or sending it as POST or URL
| arguments??
|
| I've heard whispers of XML over it's own socket..... possibly
| involving Java
| ???
|
| Is this correct?
|
| If so, obviously CF is limited as it can't access these lower level
| functions?
|
| Can anyone recommend an alternative book/site/technology for me to learn
| about these things?
|
| Thanks
| Ben.
