Except maybe integrating session data between sites that use multiple languages. I've been asked before to do things like mating a Ruby on Rails e-commerce application with a Drupal community site. Being able to share the session data directly seems (at least from THIS side of the project) a lot easier than trying to wrap each one as a service. Though IMHO, there are probably better ways to share common session data (typically login) using a single sign-on library like OpenID or the like. > > Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software > http://www.figleaf.com/ > > Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized > instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, > Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location. > Visit http://training.figleaf.com/ for more information! > > This email has been processed by SmoothZap - www.smoothwall.net > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
