Why is your function return type "void" it should be "string" if you want to
return a string[Tom Kitta] . Change it to string and give it a go.

  Subject: Returning XML via webservice, cont

  Dear List,

  I saw this thread a few days ago, about returning an XML document as a
  string from a CFC.  I tried using returntype="any" and the toString()
  function - neither worked.  What ends up happening is that the XML
  document gets returned as a WDDX packet.  Is it possible to just return
  it as a string, with no further changes?

  Here is the XML doc: http://www.graddiv.ucsb.edu/ssoNavigation.xml

  Here is the simplified CFC code:

  <cfcomponent extends="base">
  <cffunction name="getNavigation" access="remote"
  returntype="void" output="false">
  <cffile action="" file="#path#ssoNavigation.xml"
  variable="myString" />

  <cfreturn toString(myString) />
  </cffunction>
  </cfcomponent>

  The cfc is located here: http://www.graddiv.ucsb.edu/sso.cfc

  Thanks!

  Chris
