I don't know ...
But from what I have been able to learn about Blackstone it appears
that one way to call CFCs asynchronously is with JMS.
That is what Sean Corfield is doing, according to his blog & posts here.
That is the very reason that I decided to learn about JMS -- so I would
be prepared when Blackstone arrives.
But in researching JMS, I found that it can do a lot more than just
provide a straight-forward interface to CFCs.
JMS can run on a separate server/box and takes responsibility for
routing and delivery of messages between clients (whether the clients
are available or not).
JMS provides a relatively simple interface -- all of the complexity is
in the JMS Provider (server).
There is a certain class of apps, chats, batch order entry, etc. where
the processing can be separated from the acquisition of data -- as long
as it eventually gets done. In Sean's blog he talks about an order
entry system where the field offices batch-upload their orders,
whenever convenient (for them). In his system, the database nor the
CFapp to post & process the orders need not be available (nor would it
be desirable for the user to wait until all his orders are processed,
before doing something else.) The "orders" are simple messages that go
to the JMS provider -- they will sit there until an app is available to
process them.
This really has some advantages!
