What version of CFMX are you using, if cfmx7.0 then look into gateways and in particular the filewatcher one.
All aside I would not ever, and I mean ever do anything like this in CF. The reason being is the user can take their time uploading a file or the application creating the file could error, crash or whatever. Causing the script to always timeout after all it can only live for a short time before the browser and server loose connection:-) I will consider this very poor design, and would look at something outside of CF unless you are using cfmx7+ Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

This is timing out without completing successfully. Wonder if the syntax is correct, or ??? <cfloop condition = "not(FileExists('#application.workdir#/speedplot/#my_spdinput_id#.spd.fi nished'))"> <cfset createObject('java', 'java.lang.Thread').sleep(15000) /> </cfloop> Help appreciated.
