Using the literal, like this:
<cflock name="myapplication" etc...>
makes sense to me given my understanding of cflock; does anyone understand
why Allaire Tech support explicitly recommends
<cflock name="#application.applicationname#" etc..>
instead?
The also recommend <name="#session.sessionid#"> when locking session vars;
do you agree, or if not, what do you recommend?

I've seen this too, but don't recommend it. The variable
Application.ApplicationName is an Application variable, and should only be
referenced within a lock! I'd instead recommend that you simply use the
literal value that you put in your CFAPPLICATION tag for the name. So, if
you've got <cfapplication name="foo" ...>, use <cflock name="foo" ...> to
lock application variables. As long as you're consistent about this, you'll
be OK.
The preceding only applies to CF 4.0.x, of course. Gotta love the SCOPE
attribute in CF 4.5.x.
> what do I use for locking server variables?
The literal string "server" will do just fine. Again, as long as you're
consistent in doing this across applications, you'll be OK.
