Hi, I was doing some testing my CF pages and got a surprise. I use Session variables to hold certain pieces of user information. I had always thought session variables were unique to a browser session such that each new browser invocation would get a new, unique session variable that would be destroyed when the browser closed. The testing I did showed that my assumption is false and that session variables are held across new browser invocations.
Then I read the docs (gasp) and find that this is the way it's supposed to be for CF session variables and that they are cleared only when the timeout expires. Sigh. I can't have this kind of persistence. I need unique session variables for each browser invocation and have them cleared when the browser closes. I can't use cookies either. The documentation implies that switching to J2EE session variables will create the behavior I desire. I would give it a go but I don't have access to cfadmin and it's a chore to get those that do make the change. Does anyone know if using J2EE session variables will give the desired behavior in CFMX7 and CFMX8 environments? Thanks!
