Searching an XML document with Coldfusion

[Morag]

I am trying to retrieve data from my xml file into a coldfusion web service, the xml is valid but when the web service attempts to search the xml it throws back an error - An error occured while Parsing an XML document - not the most useful of errors so I am a bit stumped, here is my web service:

[CODE=VB]<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getDetail s"
access="remote"
returntype="str ing"
output="no" >


<cfargument name="inputStri ng" type="string" required="yes">


<cfset xmlFileAddress = Expandpath("XML coursework.xml" )>
<cffile action="READ" file="#xmlFileA ddress#" variable="xmlOb ject">
<cfset xmlDOM = "XMLParse(#xmlO bject#)">

<cfset scoreEXP = "/MiniLeagueTeams/MATCHES/match[@name='inputStr ing']/score">
<cfset score = XmlSearch(xmlDO M, scoreEXP)>


<cfset returnval = "test">

<cfreturn returnval>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>[/CODE]

And here is my xml (cut down version):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MiniLeagueTeams xmlns="w3" xsi:schemaLocation="w3 file:///C:/ColdFusion8/wwwroot/SCHEMAcoursework.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<TEAMS>
    <team id="1">
		<teamName>Chelsea</teamName>
		<gamesPlayed>6</gamesPlayed>
		<won>1</won>
		<drawn>1</drawn>
		<lost>0</lost>
		<gf>1</gf>
		<ga>1</ga>
		<GFminusGA>2</GFminusGA>
		<points>722</points>
		<yellowCards>
			<playerName>player1</playerName>
			<playerName>player2</playerName>
		</yellowCards>
		<redCards>
			<playerName>player1</playerName>
		</redCards>
	</team>
</TEAMS>

<MATCHES>
         <match name="Chelsea VS Valencia">
                <home>
                      <teamName>Chelsea</teamName>
                      <goals>
                             <goalScorer>Player1</goalScorer>
                      </goals>
                </home>
                <away>
                      <teamName>Valencia</teamName>
                      <goals>
                             <goalScorer>Player2</goalScorer>
                             <goalScorer>Player3</goalScorer>
                      </goals>
                </away>
                <score>2 - 1</score>
                <winner>Valencia</winner>
         </match>
</MATCHES>
	
</MiniLeagueTeams>

I able to retrieve data from the xml file using coldfusion functions like this:

[CODE=VB]<cfset xmlFile = Expandpath("XML coursework.xml" )>
<cffile action="READ" file="#xmlFile# " variable ="xmlObject" >
<cfset xmlDOM = XMLParse(xmlObj ect)>

<cfset noMatches = ArrayLen(xmlDOM .XMLROOT.XMLChi ldren[2].XmlChildren)>

<cfloop from="1" to="#noMatches# " index="i">

<cfset currentMatch = xmlDOM.XMLRoot. XmlChildren[2].XmlChildren[i]>
<cfset matchName = currentMatch.Xm lAttributes.nam e>

<cfif #matchName# EQ "Chelsea VS Valencia">
<cfset score= currentMatch["score"].XmlText>
<cfdump var="#score#"/>
</cfif>

</cfloop>[/CODE]

but when i try use this code in the web service it doesn't work either, I'm really not sure what to do next, I am quite new to this so I must be misunderstandin ng something, any suggestions would be much appreciated
