Coldfusion - Import XML Data

Requirements: Create a coldfusion function which will be called from an existing application. Input parameters: URL: The component should take an incoming URL. The following URL will be used initially: <[login to view URL]> Output: VOID (don't return anything) The component should initially screenscrape the list of votes, then do the following procedure: 1) Check tblRolls to find out if there is an existing vote listed. If not, the vote should be inserted 2) Check tblRollVotes to find out if there is existing roll call vote for this vote If the vote is not currently in the database, the process must grab the link for the XML file for the vote, follow it, and record the details of the vote in the database. If the vote IS in the database, check to ensure that we have the roll call data (in tblrollvotes) for the vote. If present, go on to the next vote. If the vote is present in tblrolls, but we do not have rollcall data, then pull the rollcall data and insert into tblrollvotes. Individual votes are recorded with the legislator id as follows: <legislator name-id="A000014"> this tag matches up with the BioGuideID field in viewCurrentreps. The component should take this ID, look up the "legid" field in viewcurentreps, and record the vote. **I will provide test environment where you can test the function against live data.** ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional ColdFusion function as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
