Coldfusion 9 XML creation and HTML after
Here is what I am running into. I have a web form that takes in the info I need. I process the form on the next page and it creates an XML document that I need (which is being created successfully). I need to display something back to the end user telling them it's been created. After my end tag /cfprocessingdirective if I write any text it throws back the errors that there is something after that end tag... How do I create my XML document and still display something back to the end user (or if need be, use a cflocation to get them to an acknowledgement page?

You can't output both XML and HTML within a single HTTP response. Well, you can, but the client won't know what to do with it. If you need to generate XML, that typically isn't going to be returned directly to the browser, because the browser won't know what to do with it. So, you will have to take a slightly different approach. There are a couple of ways you could go. You could notify the user before generating the XML, then redirect the user to the XML generation. Or, you could generate the XML and store it in a variable or file, then allow the user to click a link to generate the appropriate XML response.

Re: Coldfusion 9 XML creation and HTML after
my guess is that you have answered your question by saying that you could use a cflocation tag. Alternatively, if you trust your xml scrip to always create the xml document without errors, you may use a prompt to display your activity status just before you use the xml script.

[snip] Ian, You need to read up on the usage of CFFILE and its actions. The action upload does not load the file into a variable, it moves the file from a temporary file created by the web server during the form submission to a real file some where on the harddisk of the server. You still need to read the file in once you have uploaded it somewhere appropriate. You have been told this previously by other response to your email. Please make sure you carefully read the responses you get and read the manual for the various CF tags and function you are using. Below is some code to help you out.

Using Coldfusion with XML
I have an XML document that needs to be converted to a fixed width Comma Seperated File so it can be inserted into the relevant databases. XSLT would perform this transformation but how can Coldfusion fit in to make this an easy to use web application. For example... The user would upload the XML file using CFFILE through a web interface. In the action page it would process the XML doc and produce the relevant CSV file.

Re: Using Coldfusion with XML
Is it best to leave Coldfusion alone when it comes to dealing with XSLT and XML ? No, you can do this very neatly in CFMX using the XmlTransform() function. Also, the xml2query suggestion was a good one if you want to minimise lines of code. However, if efficiency is an issue and the XML is very simple and predictable, it may be worth writing your own lightweight parser to translate straight from XML to CSV without any intermediate steps.

Any ideas on the best way forward on this ... What exactly is the end point? The creation of the CSV? Or does something happen with the CSV afterwards? If something is happening with the CSV afterwards, then you need to look at what you need in order to perform the next task. If the CSV is the end, then you probably don't need to involve CF other than to handle the file upload, just use the XSLT. If you want to save the generated CSV out somehow somewhere, then Nick's suggestion of the XMLTransform is probably the way to go. If you actually need to do something with the XML data in CF, but only need the CSV as a means of getting the data into CF, then xml2query will cut out the CSV middle-man giving you something easier to work with in CF. So basically, you need to think about what is next the application/data flow and process the XML accordingly.

Coldfusion and XML
Forgive me if this is a very stupid question or in some way wrong, However, I think I need to send an XML feed back to a client from the server, the client machine is a touch screen that will remotely make a call to, I think, a file on our webserver that will run a query on the database and return the results - which I believe have to be in the form of an XML Feed.

RE: Coldfusion and XML
Can this be done using CF5 as opposed to MX? You can generate XML with CF 5 by either generating raw text that happens to be well-formed XML, or by using a third-party XML parser to generate XML for you.

RE: ColdFusion and XML
I generated a cfm page that process a xml document that is submitted in a form. The problem is the XML document is encoded and it causes my cfm page to error out. Does anyone know how to decode an encoded xml page? By default, when you submit an HTML form with METHOD=POST, the data sent to the server is URL-encoded. Basically, any characters not allowed in a URL are escaped with their corresponding escape sequences. Spaces, for example, are replaced with plus signs or %20. Normally, the server can easily decode that, so you don't have to worry about it. XML contains lots of stuff you can't put in a URL, and I imagine CF is simply getting confused about how to decode it. There's an IE-specific character encoding issue described here: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200305/msg01144.html You do have some options, though. One option would be to use the GetHTTPRequestData function to return a structure containing the various parts of the HTTP request, and go through the content key and manually decode characters as appropriate. Another option might be to specify ENCTYPE=text/xml instead of using the default ENCTYPE=application/x-www-urlencoded within your HTML form tag. I will note that I don't know how well either of these options would work, but that's where I'd start if I were you.
