As others have pointed out, writing an AxKit provider to fetch the XML from your ColdFusion server should be possible. But I'm not sure why you would want to do that, since ColdFusion MX supports XSL transformations natively. Maybe thats a newer version of ColdFusion then you're using...

It seemed from the original post that that's what he was doing. There may be reasons for going another route though. Maybe CF doesn't cache XSLT operations. Maybe he wants some post-processing with AxKit beyond just XSLT. Maybe he's transitioning out of tools sold by the Evil Empire progressively...


The provider approach would involve writing a small perl module that provides certain methods that would be used by AxKit to fetch the XML, instead of fetching it from a file on the disk. See this page for documentation: http://www.axkit.org/wiki/view/AxKit/ProviderHowTo

It should be truly trivial. The provider's get_strref() would call get() from LWP::Simple (or something slightly more elaborate if POST is needed -- but that won't be hard either).
