At the very least, this is poor design of Coldfusion. In defense of my words being twisted in support of other assertions. I don't really think that this represents poor design in ColdFusion, and definitely doesn't deserve all this banner waving and general freaking out. It may be an undesirable behavior, but it's pretty common knowledge and expected behavior. This memory behavior has been consistant across every version of ColdFusion since the application scope was introduced. Acting suprised and appaled about this issue only indicates a lack of experience. However, that doesn't mean we can't suggest that a change in behavior be considered for future versions - or that a solution would be welcome. We've all done a pretty good job of describing the problem here, it may be a good idea to chill out a bit on the kicking and screaming and allow some folks to suggest some solutions. Looks like Sean's suggested some other great options for helping solve the problem. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:204223 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
