Creating a Socket Server using Coldfusion -
i want notify iphone app of updates using socket server real time updates , prevent need polling. server side language coldfusion, , after weeks of searching web following threads of people attempting conclusion has come coldfusion doesn't support this. firstly if has suggestions no 1 else has provided proper way coldfusion feel free cut me short , please enlighten me. anyhow, solution occurred me (in sleep!) , before invest time doing wanted ask if critically flawed reason.
there isn't in adminstrator supports this, , people rightly point out can't instantiate server socket on page since hang page waiting requests, , server destroyed when page times out.
but wrong following solution, create appserver.cfc component, wraps java serversocket. trigger run this:
<cfset application.servercfm=new appserver()> <cfthread timeout="2147483647"> <cfset application.servercfm.start()> </cfthread>
the server remains indefinately on application scope, , page returns instantly. thread timeout sets 60 years, although i'm sure i'll have more frequent server restarts!
i hope question isn't flagged opinionated, question is: there means, can provide service through socket using coldfusion whether solution or suggested forum.
thanks
