DataManipulationLib Error
JG4
library(ies). The "IsXML" function is now included in ColdFusion 7.0,
so the name of the function must be changed (I used "isXMLString").
Additionally, I added an "init()" function to this library. I know it
is not required, but there are probably cases where we would want to
place a scope on the data manipulation functions.
Lastly, I see a few months ago that ColdSpring became a topic of
discussion. I have not used it yet (although I have downloaded);
however, just as with JAVA, I'm sure COAL can work with ColdSpring. I
have to say that I am truly enjoying using COAL and I hope the project
does not die off. I have a few functions I would like to submiot, but I
am not sure of the proper location. Summaries are below:
***FormToXML - converts all form submissions to a well-formed XML
string. Comes in handy with SQL Server as you only have to pass the
string and any changes to the UI may be handled with minimum code
changes to the DB.
***ListToXML - converts any list to well-formed XML. Can be used for
parent child relationships that you do not want to loop through.
***getRootHTTPPath - returns the root path of any page. I use this a
lot in Application.CFC
***sessionClear - clears all session variables (like on logout).
Thx, and I hope to see (posts) you all soon. I think we can all help
COAL to mature and give Ryan some needed assistance.

P.S.
I still have no figured out how to use gLogin as opposed to the CFLOGIN
structure. CFLOGIN has some serious issues and doesn't seem to work
well with session. I have written a number of work-arounds for
CFLOGIN...yuk, but they are working pretty well right now.
