RE: Session Variables Or Client Variables (Pros & Cons - Poll)

[Mike Brunt]

Joe, we have used Session variables more than Client.  We typically use duplicate to copy in and out of request so all but those var reads and writes can be done in request scope avoiding extensive locking.  Obviously load-balancing can be an issue but setting sticky can mitigate that.  So the only real downside is in a fail-over situation.

In the J2EE version of CFMX you can utilize the underlying Java Session replication mechanism.

Kind Regards - Mike Brunt

Personally i am not a big fan of Client Variables due to DB Serialize/De-Serialize Overhead
and not being able to store complex variables etc...

Just Curious..

What would be the CF Developer Consensus to using Client Variables Or using Session Variables?

Thanks,
Joe Eugene
