Hello everyone I am new to the house of fusion and look forward to communicating with everyone. I am using coldfusion MX 6.1 and have noticed several references in many articles that puzzle my mind. The first one includes that session variables are referred as shared data. The second one includes the statement Coldfusion Server will fail under load if you do not utilize cflock around your session variables.
Hopefully, my understanding is incorrect. I understand that session variables are unique towards a browser connection to a single given MX6.1 server. Therefore, this term shared data confuses me as my understanding includes that the data for session variables should be separated for all browser connections. An example of my understanding would be the following. Two users are connected, user1 session.var1=5 and user2 session.var2=10. They both have their own independent variable var1. A change to one does not change the other. Therefore, I do not understand why I would have to use cflock around session variables or why it would cause the server to fail under load. For example, say I am using session variables for login authentication. Why would I want to lock someone out of the server while someone else is logging in? Shouldnât their session variables be different as shown in my example? I look forward you the groupâs replies.
