You could use CFHTTP to hit a page on the website to reload the app?  If
there is a config file or db that holds users you could authenticate against
that to handle the security side of things.

Another way is to in your app use the cfapplication tag and make the app
name the name of the app you want to reload and perform the tasks you need
after calling the cfapplication tag and then switch it back:-

<cfif needsToReload>
        
        <cfapplication name="fontendWebsite" />
        <!--- Do the stuff to reload the application --->
        
        <cfapplication name="theActualApplication" />
        <!--- Continue happily --->
        
</cfif>

Subject: [cfaussie] Inter-Application Comms


I have a CMS that runs as a separate sub-domain to the actual site being
administered. On occasion (and seemingly more and more) there is a need for
the CMS to tell the website that some update has been made and that it
should reload application and/or session variables. And a recent requirement
is for the notification to come from an entirely different application.

Before I launch into a complete rewrite of the current system, which
predates webservices, I was wondering what methods others on this list might
be using that they would recommend. The two key features being simplicity
and security, which I agree are probably conflicting, but hey...

Cheers,

Brett
