History
ColdFusion MX: Changed behavior: if the value parameter is not a WDDX packet, ColdFusion returns False. (In earlier releases, ColdFusion threw an error.)
Parameters
Parameter | Description
value | A WDDX packet
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.
Example
    <cfset packet="
       <wddxPacket version='1.0'>

                <string>one</string>
             <string>two</string>
             </array>
          </var>
