http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000030.htm#114577 When you use the CF installer to create an EAR for deployment within a J2EE application server, you specify a context root. When you install CF using the standalone or multiserver options, the context root is "/". This context root is used to determine whether a request will be handled by the application server or just by the web server. For an example of context roots in action, just go to the Adobe site itself. All of the URLs handled by CF look like this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/... The context root in that case is "/cfusion". > What the heck? Please don't tell me that the only way I can > use cfchart is to enable sticky session. Is there a way to > set a sticky age?

You could handle all charting requests on a single server, or specify the URL for one server rather than the uURL for the cluster when visiting a page that will let the user generate a chart.
