Thanks Barney. What may be a good workaround for the child threads problem? Could I hit another CFM script via cfhttp from within my first thread and have tat CFM spawn another thread, or is that still consider a child thread then? Basically I have 2 or 3 long running processes (image conversions and manipulations) which should be chained somehow. For example I need to first kick off a PDF to image conversion via cfpdf after a user uploads a file. After that process is complete I need to rename and sometimes cut up the generated images, or apply a different compression setting, resize them etc. Each step can take a few minutes.
Yes I could use some sort of polling mechanism but that's not slick enough ;-) Cheers Stefan On 27 Oct 2009, at 22:46, Barney Boisvert wrote: > > No limit to threads on Enterprise Edition, but no CF edition allows > child threads.
