Actually it is something that interests me... It's also something that a number (not sure if it's a lot) of people have been requesting as a feature (or collection of features) in CF for a while... It'd be nice if we could have native functions to get a list of all the applications on a server or all the sessions in an application without having to concoct our own byzantine frameworks to do it. :) Something like ApplicationList() or SessionList(appname) or SessionStruct(sessionid,appname). (In that order so appname can default to the current application if any.) The problem with this of course is that it requires extra special attention given to sandboxing -- the function can't retreive application or session data outside your own sandbox for fear of people hacking their neighbors on shared servers.
As for documentation... There's lots of documentation around. There's some on CFDev.com that's labelled "ColdFusion un-Documentation" and Jochem VanDieten has published some... Unfortunately because MM haven't published documentation for any of their Java classes, I don't _think_ there's a good single repository of knowledge, since everyone's had to do their own tinkering... If you do a google search for coldfusion.server.serviceFactory you'll find all sorts of information about various internal API's like this hof thread where Ben Forta is telling Stacy Young that they didn't expose the API for query caching (dangit!). http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm/method=messages&thread id=13977&forumid=4 sorry for the line-wrap Anyway... tons of stuff here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=coldfusion.serv er.serviceFactory hth p.s. Man... every time I think I've heard the last new feature that could be implemented in CF I read something else where somebody's asking for something I never thought of. :) I must have read 50 or so of them in the last week. Granted, that's partly 'cause I was reading some older threads about requested features (like multi-threading) on Christian Cantrell's blog. :) Plus I'm encouraging people to go to the MM site and request they re-implement the dbvarname attribute in cfprocparam based on the work in my recent custom tag which makes cfstoredproc as easy to use as cfinsert. :) (Did I post about that on this list?) In any event, it's all free in the framework for anyone who's interested.
