I wish it was, but we have only one app on the server, and it does not use session variables and the application var usage has been thoroughly reviewed and the locks appear correct.
The application vars used by the app are refreshed essentially once a day or when they do not exist (isdefined), these locks would not have been in effect at the time of these crashed. The application vars would have been being read but not written. This is the case throughout the site with no exceptions. There are several 3rd party calls, and I had thought initially that this was the problem. But I am not alone with this problem as it seems Tyler is with his "Success" stories. Tyler, do you think every one in this thread has some application issues and that we should all stop blaming CFMX and use your limited success as proof that CFMX works under load? http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm?catid=143&threadi d=468954 Brook At 02:58 PM 27/11/02 -0800, you wrote: >Off the top of my head and perhaps worth just that... > >Could you have a deadlock condition going? ...
