I think folks usually create session.sessionid equal to session.cftoken + session.cfid
in the application.cfm
I would suggest using CFLOCK SCOPE="SESSION" rather than named locks as then you can
turn on the CF admin strict
lock checker to be sure all session vars are locked.
Also I am not certain that if a session var appears in the CFLOCK tag itself, rather
than between the <CFLOCK> and
the </CFLOCK> that it is really locked...
If you don't have any structures or queries in the session vars it would be best to
convert to client vars (stored
in database rather than registry) as these don't need locks at all...
See http://www.cfug-md.org/articles/locking.cfm for more info.
