Blip has an Exclusive locked structure "usercount" in it that adds
users to the structure when they enter the application.
After a user is inactive for so long they are removed.
but in our intranet "blop" I want to output that structcount of the usercount structure in blip, so we can see how many people are currently in our ordering system.
I did think of maybe having it insert the data into a DB. But I don't want the application.cfm doing a cfquery every time a page fires.
Youmight set up a webservice to report metrics from the ordering app. Query the webservice from the intranet. That way if you ever put them on separate machines you can always continue to use the service. If you are concerned about performance simply cache the query for a minute or so such that high traffic on the intranet only polls the external app once a minute for an update.
