Observer pattern w/ cfthread?

[Henry Ho]

Thinking of implementing Observer pattern, and call the listener async
using cfthread, do u think that's a good idea? Any potential problems?

[Mark Mandel]

It Depends.

Transfer does this with discarding objects, but its not as important there if discards don't happen real time... (and it also does more cache sync later on).

So it becomes a question of whether or not synchronous behaviour is required for your given context.

This is exactly what my Edmund framework does (well, it allows both
sync and async listeners). Feel free to download it and have a look.
It even works on multiple CFML engines (which have different
implementations of cfthread!).
