Where we need a transactional interaction we use web services (i.e., make one or more calls as part of a work item and get results back) but where we are just exchanging data and need guaranteed delivery but no immediate response we use JMS at both ends. The JMS gateway built into CFMX 7 lets you publish messages to topics defined on a JMS server as well as subscribe to those topics. The interaction is asynchronous. > BJ: Agreed.

Adding any features to a language makes it more complex. Yet Java, C++ and even C have all had features added. CF has had very few tags added to support OO so it's arguably very little additional complexity (especially in comparison to Java or C++). CF supports encapsulation, polymorphism and inheritance which are the three core tenets of OO. > BJ: Awesome! I havn't had the opportunity to look at CF7 so I'm glad to hear > this!

Hopefully this has been addressed as well. :) There's a lot of QoQ enhancements in CFMX 7. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
