Gene,
Alternative solution. There is a method using wddx to save the data to a
text file say on the users desktop. When they are completed you may want to
give them a publishing function. In your case, you could reestablish the
session and deserialize the data and send it back to the server for the
user. This solution may be more complex than just using client variable
storage but it is a viable alternative. If you have the ADVANCED book CFWACK
(Cold Fusion Application Construction Kit) in chapter 16 (written by Nate
Weiss) where he uses wddx to store information on the local machine and then
retrieve it later for use. I tried this once using JSP and it seemed to work
fine. Obviously you will have to add some other logic for your situation.

Subject: Session timeouts
What's the best way to deal with session timeouts when using
session vars to grant access to administrative areas of a site on a
server where you don't have control of the timeout settings?
I'm thinking we probably need to switch to another method of
tracking the session... I'm reluctant to move to client vars in the db,
but is that what will be necessary? What happens now is an
administrator may be, say, creating a newsletter and by the time
he composes it and saves it, the session has timed out and he's
kicked back to the login screen...
Ideas welcomed...
