Usage

This function processes a WDDX packet with a validating XML parser, which uses the WDDX Document Type Definition (DTD).

To prevent CFWDDX deserialization errors, you can use this function to validate WDDX packets from unknown sources.

<cfset packet="

  <wddxPacket version='1.0'>
  <header></header>
  <data>
    <struct>
    <var name='ARRAY'>

        <string>one</string>
      <string>two</string>
      </array>
    </var>
    <var name='NUMBER'>

    </var>
    <var name='STRING'>
