RE: XML Document Object is NOT a struct?

2006-09-04 Thread Ken Ferguson
You reference it similarly to the way you reference a stuct, but it's
silly to say that it is represented as such, because it certainly is
not. That's like saying a query is represented as a struct just because
you can access it similarly. The doc clearly says that "An XML Document
Object is represented in CF as a structure," therefore you should be
able to use struct related functions ON THE DOCUMENT OBJECT. 

Anyway, I think we've managed to figure out that it's just an error in
the docs.

Thanks,

Subject: Re: XML Document Object is NOT a struct?

I read the documentation that is confusing you.

Description: Creates an XML document object.
Returns: An empty XML document object.

IsStruct will be no because if you use cfdump for the varaible, it
returns
an XML object and not a struct.

The phrase that I see that you are referring to:
Usage: An XML document object is represented in ColdFusion as a
structure.

Well, this statement may just be an incorrect way of stating the data
type.
The examples that they use is very much Structure related:

MyDoc.xmlRoot.XmlAttributes["Version"] = "12b";

This is indeed a structure notation to get the "Version" item from the
xmlRoot collection.  The XMLAttributes portion of the XML Element is of
type
struct.

XML Children for a given element is stored as an array.

Where you test isStruct is really the issue.

Subject: XML Document Object is NOT a struct?

So, as per the docs for XMLNew, "An XML document object is represented
in ColdFusion as a structure." This doesn't seem to be true though. I
have an xml string I've parsed into an XML document object and I can't
access it with any of the structure functions. I know there are other
ways to access it and that's what I'm doing, but when I saw that line in
the docs I got excited and was then disappointed when isStruct and
structFind. falied to work. Am I insane, or is this just an error in the
docs?
 
Thanks,

You say it is a string? Have you ran it into ColdFusion with ParseXML?



Then perform the struct calls on foo?
