Parsing an RSS feed to output HTML

Question

This has been working for over a year:
<cfset feedURL = "
http://feeds.feedburner.com/YakBlog">
<cfhttp url="#feedUrl#" method="get" />
<cfset rss = XMLParse(cfhttp.filecontent)>
<cfset items = XMLSearch(rss, "//:item")>
<cfset yakItems = QueryNew("title,description,link")>
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(items)#" index="i">
<cfset row = QueryAddRow(yakItems)>
<cfset title = XMLSearch(rss, "//:item[#i#]/:title")>
<cfif ArrayLen(title)>
<cfset title = title[1].xmltext>
<cfelse>
<cfset title="">
</cfif>
<cfset description = XMLSearch(items
, "//:item[#i#]/:description")>
<cfif ArrayLen(description)>
<cfset description = description[1].xmltext>
<cfelse>
<cfset description="">
</cfif>
<cfset link = XMLSearch(items,
"//:item[#i#]/:link")>
<cfif ArrayLen(link)>
<cfset link = link[1].xmlText>
<cfelse>
<cfset link="">
</cfif>
<cfset QuerySetCell(yakItems, "title", title, row)>
<cfset QuerySetCell(yakItems, "description", description,
row)>
<cfset QuerySetCell(yakItems, "link", link, row)>
</cfloop>
<ul>
<cfoutput query="yakItems" maxrows="5">
<li style="margin-bottom:8px;"><a
href="#link#">#title#</a></li>
</cfoutput>
</ul>
Suddenly I'm getting this error error:
Element XMLTEXT is undefined in a Java object of type class
coldfusion.xml.XmlNodeMap referenced as
I've uploaded this test page and you can see the full error
here:
Element XMLTEXT is undefined in a Java object of type class
coldfusion.xml.XmlNodeMap referenced as
Any ideas what's going on?

<cfset items = XMLSearch(rss, "//:item")> is returning
an array of xml objects so the subsequent searches of <cfset
description = XMLSearch(items, "//:item[#i#]/:description")> are
not working against an XML object
if you change the items reference to reference the individual
item it will work again.
<cfset description = XMLSearch(items
, "//:item[#i#]/:description")>
Not sure why you were grabbing the title from the rss object
and then grabbed the rest of the data from the items object, but
here's a shorter script that may help;
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(items)#" index="i">
<cfset row = QueryAddRow(yakItems)>
<cfif IsXmlElem(items.title)>
<cfset QuerySetCell(yakItems,"title",items
.title.xmlText)>
</cfif>
<cfif IsXmlElem(items.description)>
<cfset QuerySetCell(yakItems,"description",items
.description.xmlText)>
</cfif>
<cfif IsXmlElem(items.link)>
<cfset QuerySetCell(yakItems,"link",items
.link.xmlText)>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
