Ok, so I figured why my xmlSearch was not working - there are two default namespaces in the xml and a namespace mapping is required to reference them through XPath. After searching for some time on how to map namespaces with ColdFusion I gave up and used:
//[local-name()="AddressDetails"]/* etc My XPath query ended up huge and unreadable but it worked. Any ideas on how to map namespaces for XPath searches in ColdFusion?
