I took the same approach before CFMX. I've now moved back to session variables with CFMX's ability to replicate session data across a cluster...less headache in dealing with stored complex structures. (not like it was a HUGE deal using WDDX but is still extra processing)
Let's hope I don't live to regret it and have some session issues emerge! -----Original Message----- From: Matt Robertson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 12:45 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Finding a good Session management system. I'd like to chime into this thread on the side of client variables. I've pretty much abandoned session vars in favor of client vars and - where needed - using wddx to fake a structure if I need it. It works marvelously. The kicker was when I found Hal Helms' tutorial on this. Using in part a tag that's been sitting in the devex for quite some time, it shows a way to build an inactivity-based expiration setup. I adapted it to my own needs with only minor mods. http://halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=tutorials.detail --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -----Original Message----- From: Adams, Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 5:54 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Finding a good Session management system. ********************************************************************** WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL Please refer to the disclaimer beneath this message ********************************************************************** Hi, I have been building CF sites for a while now and I am always finding myself creating/deleting and checking for session variables or changing them into request variables. It always seems to me that there must be a better way in which to use them. A way that lets me create them easily, delete them, keep track of them with out have to write tons of code and does not add loads of time to the running of my applications.. Does anyone know of or have any tips on how I can easily handle the management of session variables.
