FWIW, we ran into exceptions with a prior version of the Torchbox tag when elements of SOAP-based responses returned as an array or other complex structure. We ended up spending several hours writing our own CF XML parser based on Xerces.
Haven't tried the same calls in MX yet but I'm anxious to see how it measures up. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Zumbrunnen Christian SKKAI Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 11:50 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: AW: [cf-xml] CF5 and XML Parser Also Torchbox offers some nice custom tags http://torchbox.com/xml/ too. Sybex offers some free portions of a book on processing XML with ColdFusion http://www.sybex.com/coldfusion.html http://xml.granularity.com/ has some UDF for XML processing in ColdFusion But I have to leave it up to you which tools will help you best or if it's better to have your server updated to CFMX. Hope this helps. ---\|/----------------------------------------------------- Christian Zumbrunnen E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CH-5200 Brugg AG -----------------------------------------------------/|\--- -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Gene Geist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Sonntag, 30.
