Ok, I found the cause: onSessionStart() <cfset THIS.sessionTimeout = "#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,10)#"> <cfoutput>#THIS.sessionTimeout #</cfoutput>
outputs 10. Which means 10 days since the createTimespan() function returns units of days (eg CreateTimespan(1,0,0,0)eq 1 and CreateTimespan(0,12,0,0) eq 0.5) onApplicationStart() THIS.sessiontimeout=CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,10) <cfoutput>#THIS.sessiontimeout#</cfoutput> outputs 0.000115740740741 which equals 10 secs. Why the same variable (THIS.sessiontimeout) gives a different value in the onApplicationStart() and onSessionStart() handler is beyound me. If I cfdump the THIS scope in both handlers they are identical except for the value of sessiontimeout and applicationtimeout.
