I don't know offhand of any specific resources that cover using XML within
CFML, other than the CF documentation. That said, there simply isn't that
much to it. If you want to receive XML, you receive it like you'd receive
anything else - it's just text. You don't need to use a web services
standard like SOAP or XML-RPC to do this, either.
Usually, when people use HTTP POST to send XML, they send the XML as the
HTTP request body, rather than within a form variable. You can access this
by using the GetHTTPRequestData function.
