I had thought this was avoidable with reflection, but looks like you are right, when accessing a CF session var, it does indeed always reset the time. And as otherwise mentioned, this method is not terribly fast, so not well suited if you expect large numbers of users at once...and of course has the disadvantage of using undocumented classes. >An important point that confuses people is that a session doesn't end >when you log out and wipe out the session variables. Good point. I do believe there is a way to clear the memory using the SessionTracker getMaxInactiveInternal method (not sure if that's the right one, but pretty sure I saw a blog entry about using this to reset the max timeout for a session.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:294466 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
