ColdFusion CFMX - A First Look
Date: Jul. 9, 2002 Forta then explains how developers can use their existing skills in creating and manipulating ColdFusion structures to greaty
simplify working with XML data, including tasks such as converting XML to and from ColdFusion objects, creating XML objects,
extracting data using XML Path Language (XPath) and applying Extensible Style Language Transformations (XSLT). Code examples
demonstrate generating XML output from a database query and parsing an XML document then saving an attribute to a ColdFusion
variable.
Forta finishes with a discussion about how to use ColdFusion Components (CFCs) and ActionScript to build rich clients and
Web services via ColdFusion and support for Web
service-related standards, including Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP), Universal Description, Discovery,
and Integration (UDDI) and Web Services Definition
Language (WSDL), which can be auto-generated.

Beginning with ColdFusion MX the application has been rewritten from the ground up with a Java code base and improved native
XML file format. Illustrating with a code example of using the
