Yes, how to post from CF to the Tomcat server is the first issue. I think we'll have to use httpClient to post. We can't use a form with a file field, because you can't dynamically set the file name.
Then, there will be a return of a file from the server as a result of what the server does with the xml file. I don't know how to handle that, either.

If so that's probably off-topic for commons-user list (but see cfhttp tag http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p58.htm) Or are you asking about how to recieve the file on the Tomcat server? Maybe this helps http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/using.html or maybe this article http://www.theserverside.com/articles/content/HttpClient_FileUpload/arti cle.html HTH, -TR --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ This message was scanned for viruses prior to entering the Moen network _______________________________________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
