Replying to myself, cos what's being said is quite important actually:
For all those who use XML via MSXML 4 on CF4/CF5:
If you use some of the methods of the DOM object in CFMX, errors are thrown.
One of these is the documentElement method:
root = xmlDoc.documentElement;
Which fails when you try to set it to something like this:
xmlDoc.documentElement = createElement("Tree");
The reason being that the returned Object doesn't appear to conform the the
COM specification (and therefore throws an error in Java). This isn't a
problem for the C++ based CF5 server, so my point is, that anyone upgrading
legacy applications from CF5 to CFMX containing the use of MSXML may have a
problem in upgrading.
If anyone can do this in CFMX, then it's something to do with my install
(which I don't think is the case as I can replicate it elsewhere). I am
looking at telling a client that upgrading to CFMX could cost them a serious
amount of money considering the size of the website and the serious amount
of XML processing that goes on (and I didn't initially write the site, so
it's no skin off my nose).
