Who is generating the .xml doc? Safe to presume a third party?
Typically, if you are not generating the xml doc, converting it to wddx with
the <cfwddx> tag is not going to work. Data manipulations with xml require A
DTD or XSL Transformation doc and an XML parser. Either of those (DTD or
XSL) "map" the xml data for the parser. (As I understand this). And, as I
understand from working with Hussain a wee bit... the cfx_J/GIAXT lets you
throw an xml doc and its coresponding XSL files at this CFX_J custom tag,
and you get back your a cfas usable variable that can then be used by cfas.
There may be way more to it or this may be missing the mark as to what your
after - hopefully this gets you going in the right direction. Spent any
time at www.wddx.org? Highly recommended.

Here's the gist:
<CFX_J CLASS="GIAXT"
XML="c:\internet\www\xml\ColdFusion\kitten.xml"
XSL="c:\internet\www\xml\ColdFusion\cats.xsl"
OUT="transformed" [DEBUG]/>
<CFOUTPUT>#transformed#</CFOUTPUT>
