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.

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.

RE: Coldfusion and XML
look @ cfsavecontent to create the xml. maybe look @ cfhttp to make the call to the server to get the xml generated? maybe look @ using a cfmx webservice, and have the browser on the touch screen make a request to the webservice. some ideas? tony -Original Message- From: David Ashworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 9:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: 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.

Not stupid or wrong but certainly possible - the touch screen can contain a link to a ColdFusion template which generates an XML document.

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.
