Why are you saying you have to write it out to an XML file? Are you saying that calling the CFC fails from Spry? But you can browser it and it works, so you save that file as XML and then call that from spry? If so, then I wonder if the problem is simply that what you're sending to the browser (that works) has stuff in it that spry itself would not like (must be pure XML). A common mistake is to leave debugging turned on. You don't "notice it" in the browser (your eyes have learned to accept it), but the spry xmlhttprequest (or any ajax request) will balk if it's not just XML. There can also be problems due to the content type being still set as HTML (as CFML pages are by default) or whitespace issues.
I've discussed these very challenges and their solution in a blog entry a few weeks ago: I-Spry Part 4: Help. Spry/Ajax isn't working: problems due to unexpected server results http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/7/13/spry4_unexpected_server_ results Here's one that's got some other easy spry mistakes: I-Spry Part 3: Some easy mistakes (I hope you will now avoid) http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/7/11/spry_gotchas Finally, as for your wanting to submit data via Spry, check out Ray's entry: Sending Data with Spry http://ray.camdenfamily.com/index.cfm/2006/7/12/Sending-Data-with-Spry Let us know if any of those help you. /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Feeling a little SPRY essentially: setup: cfmx7 everything is local.
