CF8 and realtime data with AJAX Data Services
I'm not an AJAX user but the CFTeam added a lot of AJAX functionality in CF8 and this should be mentioned: Did you know that you can have real time data and messaging support in your AJAX applications using the integrated LifeCycle Data Services?
LCDS is not exclusively for Flex but also for HTML based applications.
While there is no tags to support this you can find here then necessary documentation to implement this.
Unfortunately, the necessary bridge files to achieve this aren't supplied with CF8 so you need to install LCDS separately just to get those files. They will be under the resource/fds-ajax-bridge folder.
I wanted to share here those files but unfortunately Adobe license agreement doesn't allow me to do so.
It's too bad that something like this is shipped in the product and nobody knows about it at all.
<cfdatamanagement and <cfmessaging could be a nice ER for new AJAX stuff in CF9 :)
I spoke with the LCDS team regarding the files because it's under 100k and we need do download a 100 MB file just to get them. Unfortunately, it would require a new licensing agreement, so they answer was that I couldn't provide them.
