Two things:

1. xml is case sensitive so the 'id' in the XPath expression should be 'ID'.
2. A single slash to start an XPath expression basically says 'start
at the root', so '/Media_x0020_Contacts' does not match any elements
(there is no Media_x0020_Contacts element in the *root* of the
document. Either use a double slash to say 'match a
Media_x0020_Contacts element anywhere in the document' or write the
full path to the element. So:

<cfset contacts = XMLSearch(xml,'//Media_x0020_Contacts/ID') />
or
<cfset contacts = XMLSearch(xml,'/dataroot/Media_x0020_Contacts/ID') />

I'd ignore the validation errors ;)

CF8 problem with xmlsearch or malformed xml ?? access 2003 exported xml

2008-05-21T09:18:17Z

I am having a CF8 problem reading an xml file exported from Access 2003.

My array returned from the xmlsearch function is empty. I dump the xml
doument I get a fully populated structure. If I validate the xml file with xmlvalidate() I get:

1 [Error] :2:91: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'dataroot'.

Here is the code, and example of the xml file. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bob

<body>
<cfset xml = XMLParse("http://aplacmc/dir/some.xml") />
<cfset contacts = XMLSearch(xml,'/Media_x0020_Contacts/id') />
<cfoutput>

contacts 
<cfdump var="#contacts#">

arraylen:#ArrayLen(contacts)# 
<cfset myResults=XMLValidate(xml)>
Dump of myResults structure returned by XMLValidate 
<cfdump var="#myResults#">
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(contacts)#">

Something like

XMLSearch ( myXML, '/employee[@id='jjones']/*' )

Should do the trick. I didn't test this and I'm not certain of the
"*", but that should get you in the neighborhood.

Search XML Tree help

2006-10-18T16:23:11Z

First off, I'm an XML newbie, but not a CF newbie :)

I'm trying to figure out how to search an xml document that is being handed to me by another process within the company. Basically it's a small database.

Here's a sample:
<employee id="jsmith">
<fname>John</fname>
<lname>Smith</lname>
</employee>
<employee id="jjones">
<fname>Jack</fname>
<lname>Jones</lname>
</employee>

How do I search the tree and get all of the childnodes for id="jjones"? ID is an attribute of employee and I'm having trouble figuring this out with CF.

Any help is much appreciate.
thanks!
Chris

Wddx Bad Request

2006-09-07T03:34:04Z

Hi,

Would like to know what's going on here.

i've got this query:

<cfquery name ="selection" datasource="#application.dsn#">

select item1,item2,item3, .... item80

from tableXY

where item1 like 'something'

</cfquery>

There are different datatypes. For example item1 = (varchar), item2 = (bit), item3 = (datetime) etc.

Then i serialize this query to a Wddx Packet.

<cfwddx action="cfml2wddx" input="#selection#" output="wselection" usetimezoneinfo="yes">

Testing for Wddx gives me "Is Wddx". O.K

<cfif iswddx(wselection)>
is wddx
<cfelse>
is not wddx

</cfif>

when i try to pass the whole recordset to another site via

<cfoutput>
<a href="wddxtransport.cfm?suche=#urlencodedformat(wselection)#">Selection</a> </cfoutput>

the browser doesn't connect me to the site. i just get this message:

Error: Connection interrupted

The connection to the server was put back, while the side was loaded.

* The Website could be temporarily not attainable, try again later.

* Even if you can call no other Website, examine please the network/Internet connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a Firewall or a Proxy, guarantee please,that Firefox may access Internet.

sometimes it gives me HTTP/1.1 Error 400 - Bad Request

has anyone an idea?

thanks

Help

2005-11-23T07:51:40Z

I am parsing XML passed from a Web service

I need to display several different "business errors" (not code errors)to the customer.

The problem is that two of the business errors that I need to display have the same name (they are different errors)

Is there a way (in output, loop or whatever) to do this?

Currently it's only showing the first one.

Thnx
tGirl

Using XML file for navigation

2005-08-04T02:31:34Z

Hi,

I currently have a .cfm file that I use for all the navigation on a
particular website. Depending on where you are in the site the navigation
changes. There's quite a lot of different possibilities that can occur so
they file is quite big and I believe it is a bit of drain on the cf
resources. All of the links are DB driven and do change reasonably
regularly.

I don't know much about xml but I was thinking of creating an XML file for
each of the areas where the navigation changes. These XML files would be
updated when the DB changes. So my questions are:
a) What are the pro's and con's of doing this
b) Would there be an improvement doing it in this way
c) The website is provided in multiple languages. Currently, just European
but it will be expanding into other languages which will require UTF-8
encoding. Will there be any problems with the XML file and this?

Thanks,

Richard

Could you do some processing within the Flash UI that replaces e.g.
*word* with word, some sort of simplified formatting
syntax? Its not a perfect solution but it might be workable.

Including HTML as the value of an XML node

2005-07-26T08:53:57Z

I searched the archives and could not find a solution. If there is one and I missed it, I apologize.

I have a Flash app that read XML and includes the value of the node into a text box as HTML. The Flash works fine with plain text but breaks when I include HTML tags. My research indicates that it is the HTML tags embedded in the XML.

Here is a sample: http://www.washingtonartillery.org/csa/news.xml
The application: http://www.washingtonartillery.org/csa/index.html

The first 2 articles work fine, but the third just displays "As a member of ".

How can I escape the tags? This is the last programatic step I need to figure out.

Russel
