Nate,
You are still able to end your session in this manner. A couple points
that should be mentioned:
- ColdFusion deletes expired session variables every 10 seconds to save
processing time. If you cfdump the session structure after CF executes
your cfapplication tag (say further down on the same page), you may
still see that your session exists.
- It is also recommended that you reset all other attributes to the
desired settings in your cfapplication tag:
<cfapplication
name="App_Name"
clientmanagement="yes"
applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 30)#"
sessionmanagement="yes"
sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0)#">
If you would like to immediately end your session, I would suggest using
the following right before the above cfapplication tag:
<cflock name="myAppSessionLogout" type="exclusive" timeout="5" >
<cfset StructDelete(Session, "cftoken")>
<cfset StructDelete(Session, "cfid")>
...etc
</cflock>
A bit redundant, but it does the job nicely. I have used this technique
with much success with both 5 & MX.
HTHs,

Subject: Session variables not expiring in CFMX
I am tring to test an application in CFMX that works fine in CF 5.
Simply trying to expire session variables by directing the user to a
page upon logout that contains the following:
<cfapplication name="App_Name" sessionmanagement="Yes"
sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)#">
This doesen't seem to be expiring the session variables in CFMX, and my
goal is to have this application compatible with CF 5 and CFMX.
Am I missing something that has changed in CFMX when trying to expire
session variables in this manner?
Nate
