Gavin:
If you are using cookies for session variables than you CANNOT use
CFLOCATION. If your session variables are stored in memory, go for it. The
reason why you cannot set a cooke in the same page is because cookie
information is stored in the http headers, and if the file you access says
"No, no don't look here, go to this page for the headers, you cookie cannot
be set."
However, I don't recommend using session variables at all. If you know that
your site will ALWAYS be on one server and never need to be clustered with
multiple servers, you may use them. But I ask you, how are you sure of
this?
Use client storage in a database. This is the best method and for all of
you at the conference that were complaining that you cannot store complex
data types in a database, I say this: WDDX???? Hello, are you really a CF
programmer?
