Which can happen as the result of deadlocks. > To me its worth a few more lines of code to always protect my user's > data. I don't believe Jim or I are arguing against locking or that locking causes code to become too verbose. We simply disagree over whether or not people who do not understand locking should lock every block of code that is stored in a shared scope. > I can see where locking or not locking application variables > could be harmless but I stand firm on sessions needing to be locked. It depends more on the data and its use then the actual ColdFusion scope involved. Some applications store data pertaining to user sessions in the server scope. Personally, I'm not a big fan of this, but I'm sure others have their reasons.
