You _probably_ need the xml you return as a string (not a ColdFusion
XML object) to then pass to a webservice on someone else's server. Am
I right?
You can either use <cfxml> which will produce an error if the xml is
invalid and then use toString() to return the text of the xml, or you
can use <cfsavecontent> to generate the packet, which won't produce
any errors if the xml is invalid, but doesn't require you to conver
it.
Here are samples:
<cffunction name="getXML">
<cfquery ...>...</cfquery>
<cfxml variable="mypacket">
<packet>
<cfouptut query="...">
<more><nodes /></more>
</cfoutput>
</packet>
</cfxml>
<cfreturn toString(mypacket)>
</cffunction>
Or
<cffunction name="getXML">
<cfquery ...>...</cfquery>
<cfsavecontent variable="mypacket">
<packet>
<cfouptut query="...">
<more><nodes /></more>
</cfoutput>
</packet>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfreturn mypacket>
</cffunction>
hth, good luck :)
