Dave S, ahhh yes poor man's gateways is right. I didn't want to force this application into Enterprise only land just for this one gain.
Chris, yeah asynchronous architectures can give you a little uneasy feeling at first. But for some processes, the benefit of increased response time to the user far out weights the bit of control you give up. Dave P, wow, exactly what I needed to know. Thanks! -Daniel Elmore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Shuck Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 9:02 AM To: Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List Subject: Re: [DFW CFUG] CFHTTP for quasi-asynchrony Isn't that basically how asynchronous gateways are handled though, Chris? In essence you kind of just lob it over the fence and hope it does its thing. You can of course build pieces into your application to check the success/failure downstream and take whatever action need. It sounds, however, that you will be interested in hearing the <cfthread/> discussion by Josh next week! ~d On 3/6/07, Christopher Jordan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hmm.... I'd never heard of that before, and while it sounds cool, it also sounds a bit flaky. Do you ever get control of that child process again, or does it just go off into never-never land? Meaning, if there's ever an error with that child process, will you ever be notified? Can you ever have that child process return data to the main application? I don't think I would use it, but I'm interested in the opinion of some of the more experienced guru's out there. :o) Cheers, Chris Daniel Eben Elmore wrote: It appears that CFHTTP can be used to send off a request asynchronously by setting the timeout value to 1 sec. CF will return connection time data to the parent page but the child request will still run up until the CF admin timeout value. The question: Am I crazy for building on top of such a "feature"? Anyone used this before? -Daniel Elmore _______________________________________________ Reply to DFWCFUG: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists1.safesecureweb.com/mailman/listinfo/list List Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40list.dfwcfug.org/ http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40dfwcfug.org/ DFWCFUG Sponsors: www.instantspot.com/ www.teksystems.com/ -- http://www.cjordan.us _______________________________________________ Reply to DFWCFUG: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists1.safesecureweb.com/mailman/listinfo/list List Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40list.dfwcfug.org/ http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40dfwcfug.org/ DFWCFUG Sponsors: www.instantspot.com/ www.teksystems.com/ -- ~Dave Shuck [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.daveshuck.com Where's your Spot? www.instantspot.com _______________________________________________ Reply to DFWCFUG: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists1.safesecureweb.com/mailman/listinfo/list List Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40list.dfwcfug.org/ http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40dfwcfug.org/ DFWCFUG Sponsors: www.instantspot.com/ www.teksystems.com/
