If I understand your question, you aren't having XML woes, you are having
ArrayDeleteAt() woes.
My first bit of advice when troubleshooting a problem like this would be to
simplify your code. Breaking a complex problem down into smaller pieces
allows you to focus on the part that's breaking without being distracted by
the other stuff (like the fact that you were using XML to generate your
array). Also, in a related note - you've posted a gigantic amount of code
into this email, and few people on the list are likely to be willing to go
through it line by line and figure out everything it's doing. That's just
free unsolicited advice, though it doesn't directly solve the problem at
hand.
I think your problem is a pretty basic one. Essentially, you are doing this
at the end of your code:
<cfloop from="1" to="#arraylen(tt)#" index="i">
<cfif tt[i].xmltext eq "a">
<cfset arraydeleteat(tt, i)>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
Looks to me like the problem is that when your array's length is evaluated
at the beginning of the loop it's "5", but as soon as the cfif returns a
match, you end up deleting an item from the array. This effectively changes
the array's length *immediately* to 4 items. Then as the loop continues on
to the 6th item, (which no longer exists - you deleted it) the server throws
an exception.
The java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException is saying that your index 5 is "out
of bounds" because your array's only got 4 items in it.
Hope that helps!
