    <p>Good day - </p> <p>In ColdFusion 9, we could pass XML parameters to xmlTransform(), like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfxml variable="parm"&gt; &lt;users&gt; &lt;user&gt;Joe Blow&lt;/user&gt; &lt;user&gt;Jane Doe&lt;/user&gt; &lt;/users&gt; &lt;/cfxml&gt; &lt;cfset params=structNew()&gt; &lt;cfset params["users"]=parm&gt; &lt;cfset newXML=xmlTransform(xmlFile,xslFile,params)&gt; </code></pre> <p>In the XSL then, we could accept the "users" argument:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:param name="users" select="." /&gt; </code></pre> <p>And use it as a variable, run XPath on it, etc.</p> <p>However, with ColdFusion 10, passing an XML argument to any XSL results in an error. It is quite unhelpful, and none of the error logs show any detail.</p> <p>The error shown is simply:</p> <pre><code> An error occured while Transforming an XML document. </code></pre> <p>and</p> <blockquote> <p>coldfusion.xml.XmlProcessException: An error occured while Transforming an XML document. at coldfusion.xml.XmlProcessor.doTransform(XmlProcessor.java:508) at coldfusion.xml.XmlProcessor.access$100(XmlProcessor.java:82) at coldfusion.xml.XmlProcessor$3.run(XmlProcessor.java:455) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at coldfusion.xml.XmlProcessor.transform(XmlProcessor.java:451) at coldfusion.xml.XmlProcessor.transform(XmlProcessor.java:440) at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.XmlTransform(CFPage.java:359) at cftestxml2ecfm41929416.runPage(E:\test\testxml.cfm:36) at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage.invoke(CfJspPage.java:244) at coldfusion.tagext.lang.IncludeTag.doStartTag(IncludeTag.java:444) at coldfusion.filter.CfincludeFilter.invoke(CfincludeFilter.java:65) at coldfusion.filter.IpFilter.invoke(IpFilter.java:64) at coldfusion.filter.ApplicationFilter.invoke(ApplicationFilter.java:443) at ) ... (etc)</p> </blockquote> <p>I've narrowed it down to specifically the action of passing XML as an argument. If it's changed to a string instead of XML, it "works" in the sense that it doesn't get this error. That's fine for an empty XSLT, but of course we need it to be passed as XML so that we can e.g. use XPath on the data.</p> <p>Has ColdFusion 10 changed so that it no longer allows XML parameters to xmlTransform()? Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>

    1. COAccording to the [documentation found here](http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-6e8e.html) the `XmlTransform()` function still accepts the same parameters. There is a note that ColdFusion 10 _Added support for XSLT 2.0 syntax_. Can you show us an example of the failing XML that you are trying to pass to the function?

    2. COHi Miguel, the error in CF10 is independent of the XML that is passed. Passing the "users" XML, shown above, as a parameter is enough to cause the issue. Commenting out the params, or making "users" a string, eliminates the error. There is no need to try to access the passed XML within the XSL; simply passing *any* XML causes an error.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
