Using CF_SOXML, you have a few ways to retreive and parse the XML using the
use the "XML2CF" action. All of this is pretty much taken from cf_soxml's
entry in the Tag Gallery (http://devex.allaire.com) and from siteobjects
(http://www.siteobjects.com/examples/soxml/)
<cf_SOXML
Action="XML2CF|XML2DOM|XML2HTML|CF2XML|CF2XMLD
OM|Transform"
Input="URL|FilePath|Variable"
Output="Variable"
>
You can use CFHTTP to get the XML (see the CF Help Docs for usage) and pass
the results to cf_soxml in the "Input" paramter.
You can pass the file path of the XML document to the "Input" parameter (if
it is sitting on your server, or is accessible via a network mapping to you
server).
You can pass the url of the XML document to the "Input" parameter (if it is
sitting on your server, or is accessible via a network mapping to you
server).
Be sure to download cf_ObjectDump from the tag gallery. That tag will dump
the object created by XML2CF to HTML allowing you to find the data you need
to grab.

Yea, but how do you grab a .xml page and parse it out into your HTML? I
have a company that wants to feed us info, and they have given me a url to a
...xml page. I want to group the info and format the output. Can CF_SOXML
do
this?

Yeah, CF_SOXML is an absolutely fantastic tag, I use it all the time for all
sorts of things. Well worth downloading and getting into.
You should also read up on WDDX - start by looking in the CF Studio help for
CFWDDX.
Good luck!

I did a quick search on Yahoo and found this.
http://www.siteobjects.com/index.cfm?fuseAction=showProducts
<cf_SOXML> version 1.5 [r. 01/09/2001]
SOXML provides ColdFusion programmers with an easy to use interface for
integration of XML with CF. This custom tag is open-source (of course),
free, and action based.
These actions include:
XML2CF (Converts a XML document into a complex CF structure)
XML2DOM (Loads the XML document into a valid XML DOM object accessed via CF)
XML2HTML (Displays the XML document as IE does but INLINE! very cool for
debugging)
CF2XML (Transforms any CF variable into a valid XML document)
CF2XMLDOM (Transforms any CF variable into a valid XML DOM object accessible
with CFML)
Transform (Transforms any XML document based on a specified XSL document)
I'm sure forta.com and CFDJ would have some info too.
Hope that helps!
