RE: Good resource on CF/XML integration?
Hi Is there any good resources on CF/XML integration? Any good web sites?? I'm giving a free seminar on CF/XML integration sometime in June, in London, UK. You can sign up for it at http://torchbox.com/xml If you can't come, sign up anyway and I'll send you the support pack (documentation, code samples, links to resources on the web). Yea, but how do you grab a .xml page and parse it out into your HTML? I have a company that wants to feed us info, and they have given me a url to a ..xml page. I want to group the info and format the output. Can CF_SOXML do this? I've written a custom tag which mimics CFQUERY, but uses an XML packet: cf_xmlquery name = myquery xmldata = http://torchbox.com/myxml.xml; xpath = //people cfoutput query = myquery #person_id# #person_name# br / /cfoutput The 'xmldata' field - here shown coming from a URL - can also be a file on the server or a local variable. You need to know a bit of XPATH to make the most of it, but it's pretty easy (it's a bit like the XML equivalent of SQL). If you're interested in this tag (I've also written XML versions of CFINSERT and CFUPDATE) let me know and I'll send you a beta version.

Re: Good resource on CF/XML integration?
Paul, I had this up and running last evening on a 4.0 server.

Re: Good resource on CF/XML integration?
Dave, Use CFHTTP to grab the datafile, then you have 2 options, write the resulting variable (from the CFHTTP) to a file, or directly manipulate that variable. The next step is to use CF_SOXML to get the XML. This custom tag converts the data to a structure which you manipulate with the standard struct functions. hth, larry -- Larry C.

Well, you would probably use CFHTTP to get the xml document, then use SOXXML with the XML2CF action to turn the xml document into a structure. Then you would access the data from the CF structure.

Using CF_SOXML, you have a few ways to retreive and parse the XML using the use the XML2CF action. All of this is pretty much taken from cf_soxml's entry in the Tag Gallery (http://devex.allaire.com) and from siteobjects (http://www.siteobjects.com/examples/soxml/) cf_SOXML Action=XML2CF|XML2DOM|XML2HTML|CF2XML|CF2XMLD OM|Transform Input=URL|FilePath|Variable Output=Variable You can use CFHTTP to get the XML (see the CF Help Docs for usage) and pass the results to cf_soxml in the Input paramter. You can pass the file path of the XML document to the Input parameter (if it is sitting on your server, or is accessible via a network mapping to you server). You can pass the url of the XML document to the Input parameter (if it is sitting on your server, or is accessible via a network mapping to you server). Be sure to download cf_ObjectDump from the tag gallery.

Re: Good resource on CF/XML integration?
Wow. Thanks for the help. It works like a charm!

Using CF_SOXML, you have a few ways to retreive and parse the XML using the use the XML2CF action. All of this is pretty much taken from cf_soxml's entry in the Tag Gallery (http://devex.allaire.com) and from siteobjects (http://www.siteobjects.com/examples/soxml/) cf_SOXML Action=XML2CF|XML2DOM|XML2HTML|CF2XML|CF2XMLD OM|Transform Input=URL|FilePath|Variable Output=Variable You can use CFHTTP to get the XML (see the CF Help Docs for usage) and pass the results to cf_soxml in the Input paramter. You can pass the file path of the XML document to the Input parameter (if it is sitting on your server, or is accessible via a network mapping to you server). You can pass the url of the XML document to the Input parameter (if it is sitting on your server, or is accessible via a network mapping to you server). Be sure to download cf_ObjectDump from the tag gallery. That tag will dump the object created by XML2CF to HTML allowing you to find the data you need to grab. -Original Message- From: Dave Hannum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 10:53 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Good resource on CF/XML integration? Yea, but how do you grab a .xml page and parse it out into your HTML? I have a company that wants to feed us info, and they have given me a url to a xml page. I want to group the info and format the output. Can CF_SOXML do this?

Yeah, CF_SOXML is an absolutely fantastic tag, I use it all the time for all sorts of things. Well worth downloading and getting into. You should also read up on WDDX - start by looking in the CF Studio help for CFWDDX. Good luck!

I did a quick search on Yahoo and found this. http://www.siteobjects.com/index.cfm?fuseAction=showProducts cf_SOXML version 1.5[r. 01/09/2001] SOXML provides ColdFusion programmers with an easy to use interface for integration of XML with CF. This custom tag is open-source (of course), free, and action based. These actions include: XML2CF (Converts a XML document into a complex CF structure) XML2DOM (Loads the XML document into a valid XML DOM object accessed via CF) XML2HTML (Displays the XML document as IE does but INLINE! very cool for debugging) CF2XML (Transforms any CF variable into a valid XML document) CF2XMLDOM (Transforms any CF variable into a valid XML DOM object accessible with CFML) Transform (Transforms any XML document based on a specified XSL document) I'm sure forta.com and CFDJ would have some info too. Hope that helps!
