We have a CFMX-based reservation application. There's a software company that wants to partner with us to provide some interoperability with a Win32 reservation management application. Match made in heaven, right?
The proposal is to have a "Get my reservations" button at some location, which would send a delimited file to a certain port on the requester's machine. The Win32 app will constantly be listening to that port when it's running, and will scan the destination directory where this file is supposed to be placed on startup for any updates. When it finds/gets updates, it will automatically drop all the data into whatever structure it uses internally. So, I'm just starting to think my way through this one. Assuming the port is open (we'll conveniently not think about blocked ports, firewalls, ZoneAlarm or anything else at this point), how would you think I should go about this? The client won't have any server software on their end, so I'll basically have to push a bunch of bytes to a specific address:port and assume the machine lets me write it there. Does CFMX have anything internal that might facilitate this, or would I be better off writing an app and running it via <cfexecute>? - Jim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
