You can't really expect them to change how their web service works to suit you, can you? That might negatively affect all the people currently using the web service. If the problem is that you don't have a specific array element, and you don't know about it until runtime, you will have to check to see if that array element exists. If you're using CF 8, there's a new function specifically for that, ArrayIsDefined: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/functions_a-b_12.html#517684 5 Otherwise, you'll need to simply try to reference the element, and catch the exception that occurs when it's not there. Since this specific array element is within an XML document, you might use XML-specific functionality instead. For example, you could use XmlSearch with the appropriate XPath expression to find matching nodes.
