Hi All. Now, maybe I'm getting this completely wrong but I think there is a bug when using dot notation with an XML object in both CF6.1 and 7. The XML structure I have has come from a web service via http using CFHTTP and this an example:
<PkgRS xmlns="http://www.test.com/test"; <http://www.test.com/test>xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>Target="test" xsi:type="test"> <SyndicatorInfo SyndicatorId="test"/> <SessionInfo SessionId="iPQ-J9ikYq39hn89J_puDZEn" CreateNewSession="true"/> <SearchResponse Success="true" ModifiedRequest="false"> <ViewInfo Offset="0" Length="50"/> <ResultSetInfo SortCode="cost" SortAscending="true" MaxItems="100" NumItems="1"/> <PackageHolidays> <PackageHoliday ItineraryId="si1003" Supplier="EZJ" Country="GB" NumberOfNights="8" LeadInPricePerPassenger="29.98" FlightOnly="true" OneWayOnly="false" BookableByFAB="true" Currency="GBP" BookingChannel="WEB"> <Flight OriginAirport="LGW" DestinationAirport="BFS" DepartureDate="20060202" DepartureTime="0700" ReturnHomeDate="20060210" ReturnHomeTime="2250" ReturnHomeDepartDate="20060210" ReturnHomeDepartTime="2125" ArrivalDate="20060202" ArrivalTime="0830" OutboundFlightNumber="EZY731" ReturnFlightNumber="EZY742" OutboundFlightBasePrice="9.99" ReturnFlightBasePrice="9.99"/> </PackageHoliday> </PackageHolidays> </SearchResponse> </PkgRS> If I then try to output the value of the XML Attribute "LeadInPricePerPassenger" which is located with the PackageHoliday element using dot notation I get an error: <cfoutput>#responseData.PkgRS.SearchResponse.PackageHolidays.PackageHoliday[1].XmlAttributes.LeadInPricePerPassenger#</cfoutput> Error: Element PKGRS.SEARCHRESPONSE.PACKAGEHOLIDAYS.PACKAGEHOLIDAY is undefined in RESPONSEDATA. However if I output it using associative array (bracket) notation it works without issue: <cfoutput>#responseData["PkgRS"]["SearchResponse"]["PackageHolidays"]["PackageHoliday"][1]["XmlAttributes"]["LeadInPricePerPassenger"]#</cfoutput> 29.98 According the "Developing ColdFusion MX Applications" documentation from MM you can: quote Similarly, you can use either, or a combination of both, of the following notation methods: Structure (dot) notation, such as mydoc.employee Associative array (bracket) notation, such as mydoc["employee"] I have tried the same code on MX6.1 and 7 and get the same error. Am I doing something completely wrong or is this a CF bug?
