ColdFusion asynchronous calls (event gateway)

Do you have some methods that require lots of processing, but don’t want the customer to have to wait for the result?

Application.cfc event methods order (order called in)

For anyone wanting to know in what order the methods in the application.cfc are called. 

The methods in the Application.cfc are called in the following order when a request is made:

1. onApplicationStart (skips this method if called before, i.e. it’s only called once)
2. onSessionStart (skips this method if called before, i.e. it’s only called once)
3. onRequestStart
4. onRequest
5. onRequestEnd

onApplicationEnd is triggered when the application times out

onSessionEnd is triggered when the session times out

onError is triggered when an error occurs
