returntype="any" didn't work, so I changed the <cfreturn #xml#> to:
<cfreturn #xml.toString()#> Now I get a different bit of data: [EMAIL PROTECTED] James -----Original Message----- From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 3:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CFCDev] Problems returning XML via WebService On May 14, 2004, at 3:17 PM, James Johnson wrote: > This is the code which generates the XML from the Query.

Unfortunately there is no native "xml" type in ColdFusion so you will have to do one of two things: 1. change your return type to "any" 2. change the return statement below to convert the DOM to a string: > <cfreturn #xml#> I think xml.toString() will work.
