You may want to check out the CFMX livedocs for an explanation of the
XML features in CF at
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/xml2.htm. You
may also want to pick up the most recent copy of Ben's book - MX is
almost a completely different product from 4.0.
Your code is pretty much on target for what you want to do. Here's a
quick example of some xml reading:
<cfset xmlString="<books><book isbn=""123-123-123""><title>How to Use
XML</title><author>John Doe</author></book></books>">
<cfset xBooks = xmlParse(xmlString) />
<cfdump var="#xBooks#">
<!--- xmlChildren is an array --->
<cfoutput>#xBooks.xmlRoot.xmlChildren[1].title.xmlText#</cfoutput>
<!--- xmlAttributes is a structure --->
<cfoutput>#xBooks.xmlRoot.xmlChildren[1].xmlAttributes.isbn#</cfoutput>
