Mike,Even if you are not familiar with Java, you can make use of the fact that ColdFusion runs on Java. This is a page showing examples of how to create Java objects and how to use them from ColdFusion, along with a quick example of how to open a socket in Java. http://www.builderau.com.au/program/coldfusion/soa/ColdFusion-s-Java-connection/0,339028378,339186184,00.htm
And after finding that article, I found this one that actually shows how to use the underlying Java directly in ColdFusion to create sockets. This looks to be exactly what you are looking for, so you should probably attempt this before my first suggestion. http://cephas.net/blog/2003/06/06/using-sockets-in-cfmx/ <http://www.builderau.com.au/program/coldfusion/soa/ColdFusion-s-Java-connection/0,339028378,339186184,00.htm>hope this helps! -- Ken On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 8:43 AM, Mike Demahy <[email protected]>wrote: > I want to open a socket to communicate with the Creston server.
