I'm presenting on Concurrency in ColdFusion at CFObjective
this year, and I'd like to hear how you're using CFThread
in your ColdFusion applications.
In addition, what problems have you had while using it, and how (if at all) have you solved them?
What do you dislike about CFThread
?
Have you run into significant weaknesses with CFThread
or other problems where it simply could not do what you wanted to do?
Finally, if there's anything you'd like to add related to concurrency in CF, not specifically related to CFThread
, please do tell.
Thanks!
We have a pdf generation system that needs to popluate thousands of PDF forms, merge them and send them to a print system.
I use a seperate thread to populate the pdf forms. When all the threads are done I merge the results into seperate batches of document packages.
This way I can be creating multiple PDFS rather than in a sequential order.
