Standard event gateways

Macromedia provides several event gateways as part of ColdFusion MX. These event gateways support the following messaging protocols:

ColdFusion MX also provides an event gateway, the CFML asynchronous event gateway, that lets a CFML application invoke a CFC method asynchronously. This event gateway does not follow the model of providing a mechanism for exchanging messages with resources outside of ColdFusion MX. Instead, it provides a one-way path for invoking CFCs when an application does not require (indeed, cannot receive) a return value from the CFC. For detailed information on using the CFML asynchronous event gateway, see Using the CFML event gateway for asynchronous CFCs.
