Does CFOBJECT TYPE="Java" work on linux? Otherwise, you'll have to
write a CFX interface to a parser. Xerxes is available for Java or C++,
depending on what language you're more familiar with. XML.apache.org.
What you would probably want to do is get the XML file, then use XSLT to
transform it to WDDX, then ingest the WDDX packet with CF. You will
have to create the XSLT 'stylesheet' to match the format/dtd of the
incoming XML document. You could use Xalan for the XSLT stuff - again a
CFX, but I think that Xalan is Java only, so you'd have to write a Java
CFX.
Granularity has some XML stuff you might want ot look at. Not sure if
it is Linux compatable, tho. http://www.granularity.net/technologies/
