The request scope exists on a per http request basis, ie the variables in the request scope only exist while the webs server/application server are completing that single request.They die immediatley CF has finished processing the request.
If your'e server is set up to process 5 maximum simultanious connections, then in theory there could be 5 sets of request variables in server memory but they are tied to a particular request and cannot exist in another page request unless you copy them into another scope. I think the answer to your question is nothing will happen if two users are simultaneously executing the same page, the pages should execute normally. Request scope variables do not need locking as a session variable would. Hope that helps a bit.

The request scope, as I understand it, contains variables that are available for all templates executing from one page, including any included templates. But what happens if two users are simultaneously executing the same page? Are there two copies of the request scope? Or do they share the same set of variables? (In which case you can't use user variables in the request scope) Cheers, Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP WebWorks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
