runAfterEither
Last update:
May 18, 2026
When either this Future or another Future completes successfully first, runs a parameterless action on the completing thread.
Description
runAfterEither is an instance method on a CFML Future. You pass a second Future to race. When either stage completes successfully first, your action runs on the completing thread. The action takes no arguments. Use it for cleanup or notifications that do not need the winning value. A new Future is returned for chaining.
This is the synchronous counterpart to runAfterEitherAsync.
Returns
A new Future.
