that's easy enough. we use cf to build url calls & then shoot them at the mapserver CGI using cfhttp. use cf to parse the response (like in the bad old IMS days). long ago we actually built a cfx_mapserver tag but it was flaky (mainly because mapserver itself was not thread safe) & broke other stuff (SDE functionality for instance). > Paul - are you querying ArcSDE with CF directly.
