Joe, When you do it this way you are referencing the session variable as a local. To get a true copy use the duplicate function:
<cflock scope="Session" type="exclusive" timeout="10"> <cfscript> tmpVar1= duplicate(Session.SomeStruct.var1); tmpVar2=duplicate(Session.SomeStruct.var2); </cfscript> </cflock> -mk -----Original Message----- From: Joe Eugene [mailto:Jebebox@;earthlink.net] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 11:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: session vars and locking You are correct... but i think its better to copy the variables to local scope in one sequence... instead of a lot cflocks.. <cflock scope="Session" type="READONLY" timeout="10"> <cfscript> tmpVar1=Session.SomeStruct.var1; tmpVar2=Session.SomeStruct.var2; </cfscript> </cflock> <cflock scope="Session" type="Exclusive" timeout="10"> <cfscript> Session.SomeStruct.var1=Var1; Session.SomeStruct.var2=Var2; </cfscript> </cflock> You can refer to the local scope variables in your page.
