    ColdFusion MX 7 introduces event gateways, a powerful new feature that allows ColdFusion applications to interact with more than just web browsers and web services. Using the same, easy-to-use CFML for creating web applications today, developers can now build gateway applications that interact with a host of other protocols that are common in today's networked world. Developers can create their own gateways or build applications using the several prebuilt gateways available in the produc
    Harnessing the power of Verity, ColdFusion event gateways, and Flex 2
    Another new feature to ColdFusion MX 7 are event gateways, which allow your ColdFusion applications to react to events outside HTTP requests. The DirectoryWatcher event gateway monitors a file system, for instance. When a monitored file changes, the DirectoryWatcher event gateway detects the change and invokes a designated ColdFusion component. This component can receive arguments about the file system event.
