Thanks everyone, I already use a http post based system but am thinking that a cfc might be more appropriate, and more secure, these days - though http is still the simplest to use.

You have to remind yourself that calling a webservice cfc is just making a http request anyway. Sure it builds the SOAP structure for you but the security has to be taken care of just the same.

[cfaussie] Re: Inter-Application Comms
You could use CFHTTP to hit a page on the website to reload the app? If there is a config file or db that holds users you could authenticate against that to handle the security side of things. Another way is to in your app use the cfapplication tag and make the app name the name of the app you want to reload and perform the tasks you need after calling the cfapplication tag and then switch it back:- cfif needsToReload cfapplication name=fontendWebsite / !--- Do the stuff to reload the application --- cfapplication name=theActualApplication / !--- Continue happily --- /cfif -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brett Payne-Rhodes Sent: Tuesday, 30 October 2007 2:22 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Inter-Application Comms I have a CMS that runs as a separate sub-domain to the actual site being administered.

I would recommend REST. It uses XML-RPC, and integrates security in each request to be authenticated. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.
