Hey Mark, What I did with CFMX was exactly that.
<CFSET MyXml ="xml stuf"> cfhttp url="www.site.com" method="post" resolveurl="no"> <cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="myXml" value="#myXml#" > </cfhttp> and it seems to work. I'm still in the exporatory stage of this. I guess ultimately I would need a Java solution. Also, my client is running CF 4.5 so i don't know if it's work with that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark A.
