How are you doing the actual chat communication? If you're using either XML sockets or FMS, than you can trigger the notification from there...

I'm building a chat app. When a user leaves, I need to let the other users still active in the chat know that this user has left. Essentially I'm deleting them from a temp table in a db. Make sense? The only indication I've found so far is onEndSession. I'm thinking if I get an error, I will know the user isn't around and can force the session to close, which should trigger my onEndSession event. > >> This could probably be a new post, but what I'd really like >> to learn is a decent way to monitor the events in >> Application.cfc.
