Ok, There seems to be a misconception on this...
Let me discuss how one method of development we are doing here, with certain Webservices and components that are being reused, you can not assume how someone is going to incorprate these into a UI. If the UI might not contain the posability of a race condition then YES cflocks will not be needed, but can one person be 100% sure that a race condition is not going to happen. Every project is different an every developer approaches things differently, but the sad fact is that id a variable is held in memory it has the potential of a race condition and that is the sad fact. I mean I designed a UserService that was held in session, but when the front end programer finally implemented the components it failed with all sorts of weir scenarios, why because I assumed how these people would end up using the compenent and was fore thinking the problem through.
