This is what I do for my ad server, to avoid heavy load. All counts for impressions, etc are batched up, and only the one time that incrementing the memory count hits a threshold is the counter committed to database, and reset.
It's easy to write a java class which spawns a thread, and make a CFX or CFC to delegate logging to it, and then you can use things like log4j to do make logging asynchronous without an event gateway..

Now that you have application events, this can be employed in a fail-safe manner, because shutting down the CF server won't result in missed entries. Simpler than setting up a gateway to do it, and it doesn't depend on having Enterprise edition. cheers, barneyb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:199033 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
