Thanks for the info - I did know about that. However, the point here isn't what you can do, eventually, in CF using external things. We use ColdFusion we can do ANYTHING! ;^)
The point is what does CFML offer. Calling out to Java is insanely powerful - but many people (myself included) don't have the skills yet. To be perfectly blunt it's also a little embarrassing: this is a basic aspect of application management on pretty much every other web application platform - and CF lacks it. CF shouldn't lack anything that ASP/JSP/PHP people can use to lord over us. We should be lording over them. ;^) Jim Davis > -----Original Message----- > From: Andre Mohamed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 11:47 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: wanted features (was Re: (Admin) disclosure) > > Michael, > > You should be able to utilize the underlying HttpSessionListener > interface to monitor session creations and destructions, though that > requires writing an appropriate Java class which isn't a big deal if you > don't mind getting your hands dirty with Java.
