Adding to my previous post (if you can understand the code) here is my idea
of what you should do. Just cut and paste it into a cfm file and run it.

-----------------code-----------------
<cfset myStruct = StructNew()>
<cfset myStruct.blah = "This is fun isn't it!">
<cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" input="#myStruct#" output="mywddx">
<cfset xml = StructNew()>
<cfoutput>
#Replace(Replace(mywddx, "<", "<", "all"), ">", "><br>", "all")#
</cfoutput>
<cfscript>
xmlpacket = mywddx;
xml.root = StructNew();
xml.root.namestart = Find("<", xmlpacket, 1) + 1;
xml.root.nameend = REFind("(>| )", xmlpacket, xml.root.namestart);
temp_count = xml.root.nameend - xml.root.namestart;
xml.root.name = Mid(xmlpacket, xml.root.namestart, temp_count);
xml.root.datastart = Find(">", xmlpacket, xml.root.namestart) + 1;
xml.root.dataend = Find("</" & xml.root.name & ">", xmlpacket,
xml.root.datastart);
temp_count = xml.root.dataend - xml.root.datastart;
xml.root.data = Mid(xmlpacket, xml.root.datastart, temp_count);
</cfscript>
<h3>Data</h3>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#StructKeyList(xml.root)#" index="i">
<b>xml.root.#Lcase(i)#</b>: #Replace(Replace(Evaluate("xml.root." &
i), "<", "<", "all"), ">", "><br>", "all")#<br>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
