Is this possible?

In CF8 is it possible to send information back to a control (cfwindow,cfdiv etc ) based on a event triggered on the server? To clearify, Say I have a scheduled job that checks a DB for a entry every 10 minutes and I want to send results of that query to the clients without the clients refreshing pages. Think along the lines of the hand dandy NET SEND command in widows only in CF :-). Is that possible if so, how?

Thanks

    I assume that in some levels this would be possible with LCDS/BlazeDS with a Flex interface.

    I am not sure about Ajax components binding features.

    With ColdFusion by itself, no this is not possible. ColdFusion only
    tools can only pull from the server, there are no server push features.

    Combine ColdFusion with Flex connected with LifeCycle data services (nee
    Flex data services), then yes this type of functionality is possible.
    If you explore the Flex developer demonstrations and documentation you
    can find simple chat widgets and performance monitors that show the
    ability to have information pushed to registered Flex clients from a
    ColdFusion server.
