Application scope only exists once per application. Session exists once for each user. You might get away with bloated memory usage in application, but if you are not careful what you place in session your problem can very quickly multiply.
I think Michael is saying that most memory problems are caused be programmers not being wary of what they place in session for each user and remembering that it will multiplied by the number of sessions which can quickly get out of hand. ~Brad > what is stored in the application scope /(which doesn't really matter much)/ and what is stored per user session /(which can be critical)/. > What makes one more critical than the other? I'm asking because the application services have crashed a couple of times recently and we'd just started storing a structure in the application scope that my friend thinks might be too big. I'm not convinced of that however. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
