Subject: RE: Using CFAPP and inactive interfaces...
In coldfusion, when using session variables, closing
the browser DOES NOT end the session. The best way is
to determine a timeout and then coldfusion will
automatically end the session after the user has been
inactive for that "timeout" period. this timeout can
be set by your application. If the timeout is not set
by your application, then the timeout will be set to
the default timeout set in ColdFusion administrator.
If you want to explicitly kill there session, then
clear the session struct.
There is a way to kill the session when the user
closes the browser as well.
