I tried, but couldn't come up with anything really useful. Here's my post
that went to CF-Talk not too long ago (1/21/04):
If only it were as simple as:
<!--- MyThread.cfc --->
<cfcomponent extends="java.lang.Thread">
<cffunction name="run" access="public" returntype="any">
<!--- do stuff that you don't need to wait for here, like launching an
.exe --->
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
<!--- .cfm page --->
<cfscript>
mt = createObject("Component", "MyThread");
mt.start(); // start is a method that would be inherited from Thread
</cfscript>
But alas, it's not that simple. CFC's can't inherit from java classes..
So... in this situation it might make sense to create a Java wrapper that
extends thread, and lets us assign a function to run as the thread. Maybe
something with a simple API like this..
<cffunction name="someFunction" ...>
<cfscript>
ThreadWrapper = createObject("Java", "ThreadWrapper");
ThreadWrapper.setMethodToRun(someFunction);
ThreadWrapper.start();
</cfscript>
But I'm not sure have Java/CF play together with function references since
I've never tried passing one from CF to Java before. If I get a chance,
I'll play around with this when I get home from work tonight.
