Hello all... Next month I'm beginning a complete rewrite of a site that gets about 120,000 page views per day. For background, here is our server configuration: CFMX 6.1 Enterprise, J2EE Configuration for JRun 2 Windows 2003 Servers with 4 GB RAM for IIS and JRun/CFMX MS SQL 2000 on a separate Windows Server 2003 Hardware Load Balancer This site has one JRun instance on each server joined in a cluster Session Replication is enabled Both CFMX and JRun have the latest updaters installed (There are 5 more instances of JRun on each server running smaller, lower traffic sites) The site requires tracking a small amount of demographic information (zipcode, etc) throughout the entire user's session. There is also a login for contest/poll entry, managing subscriptions, access to certain types of content, etc. All of this MUST work if the user has cookies disabled in their browser. (I use URLSessionFormat() for all links). I'm getting conflicting reports on which is best for this scenario: Session Variables or Client Variables I know Session Replication is faster, but it's been a little flakey since we started using JRun clusters... especially due to a bug where when a JRun instance is brought back online, the session is dropped and the user gets a new one. (Macromedia is supposed to be fixing that one soon). But as a test, I tried switching to client variables (using database) and we took a serious performance hit (probably 50%) with the current application. I'll do my best to streamline it during the rewrite, but does anyone have any suggestions on the best route to take here?
