I am not sure if or how CF 5.0 on Linux supports custom tags written in Java. But www.cfdev.com has written an XML parser in Java in the form of a CFX tag. See http://www.cfdev.com/xml/xmlparser/ -- I have used it and it works nicely and quickly, it turns valid XML documents into CF structures.
If you can upgrade to MX, do. It's function XMLParse() makes it very easy to accomplish the same task without any additional tags. Good luck.
