Scott,
Basically, use cflock around anything to do with application, server, or
session variables. When you set one of those variables, set the type to
"exclusive". When you read one, use a "readonly" lock. See below:
<cflock type="exclusive" scope="session" timeout="5">
<cfset session.test = 1>
</cflock>
<cflock type="readonly" scope="session" timeout="5">
<cfset request.test = duplicate(session.test)>
</cflock>
Now you can use "request.test" for the rest of your page without locking and
unlocking everytime you need it.
Hope that helps,
Ryan
