Update. No, this isn't good, because once you get past the "Session is invalid" period (60 minutes), you get sessions that change with each page load, and are therefore useless as they do not persist from page to page.
All the workarounds I have seen for this problem either (1) have you rename the applicaton, on failure, therefore restarting the entire application (!!!), or (2) don't let sessions work properly once you get into the time when J2EE throws the invalid session error. Oh, well. For now I am letting site visitors see the nice narrative error message served up from my CFACTCH, and hoping for the best with CT and MM somehow getting the issue resolved. FWIW, here is the text of my error message, whose tone and purpose I hope are self-explanatory: ---- NEW SOFTWARE UNDER TESTING Currently, we are testing the new Version 7 of ColdFusion MX on the site jamesedmunds.com, prior to deploying it on any of our client sites. This also affects the weblog Poor Clio. One issue we have encountered is an "Session is invalid" error when a page is reloaded on a web browser after a length of idle time, or even in browsing away from this site and returning to it. If you are reading this message, it is likely because of that condition. A solution that sometimes works during this test period is to completely exit your browser program, then re-open it and browse to this site again, at which point it should load normally. We are in touch with our CFMX host's support team to attempt to resolve this issue. Though there are many attractive new features in this version of ColdFusion, we quite naturally will not move any client sites into this version of CFMX until all such issues are resolved. Meanwhile, thank you for your patience with the fact that we are testing the new software on this site, which will ultimately bring us the benefit of resolving problem issues so that the attractive features of the new software are available to our clients. ---- Cheers to all, James Edmunds On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 21:58:33 -0600, James Edmunds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, I seem to be having good luck with this fix,also. > -JE > > On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 11:20:06 -0700, Connie DeCinko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So far, this seems to be working for me.
