I rewrote an application of mine using XML and web services. However, when I
uploaded it to my hosting server I learned that CFCONTENT was disabled. This
was a problem because I knew of no other method for setting the mime type to
XML. I found several articles on serving image content via CFMX, without using
CFCONTENT. Of those I found, "Using ColdFusion to Write Out Binary Data" by
Christian Cantrell, was the best. However, it took a bit of fiddling to make it
work with XML. Below is my solution.
If this is of any use to you great.
If you have a better method of serving XML without using CFCONTENT please share
it.
<cfscript>
function stripNonTag(sInput){
sInput = reReplace( sInput, ">[\s\r\n]*<", "><", "all" );
return sInput;
}
function stringToByteArray(s, compressFlag){
var byteArray = ArrayNew(1);
var sLen = 0;
var i = 1;
var byteValue = 0;
if(compressFlag)
s = stripNonTag(s);
sLen = Len(s);
for(i=1; i LTE sLen; i = i + 1){
byteValue = Asc(Mid(s, i, 1));
ArrayAppend(byteArray, byteValue);
}
return byteArray;
}
function serveXML(xmlString, compressFlag){
var xmlBytes = stringToByteArray(xmlString, compressFlag);
context = getPageContext();
context.setFlushOutput(false);
response = context.getResponse().getResponse();
out = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("text/xml; charset=utf-8");
response.setContentLength(ArrayLen(xmlBytes));
out.write(xmlBytes);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
</cfscript>
