Steven, I would take a look at using the Request scope where you can although that is a bit of a rub. Because I think you can only determine where to do this by knowing exactly what the application does and how it does it. Another approach (although I am sure this will be frowned on by some) is to look at ColdFusion Server and Application logs to see which variables are and have been causing problems and just lock those (look for errors with "thread" "threading" and/or "unknown exception" errors trace back and just lock those. Doing it this way may cut back on the effort a bit but you will have to keep on top of things in the logs. In addition, if you use CFStudio you might be able to get creative with extended replace but copious back-ups are needed before going that route.
I hope this is helpful.

I inherited an application that uses session variables and has no CFLOCK tags in it at all! All session variables have a CFPARAM in the Application.cfm, but even there it isn't inside a cflock. I was reading the docs and even if I set the locking to "Automatic Read Locking", I don't think I'm protected from potential locking problems. Am I understanding things correctly? Do I need to go through every bit of code, find where a session variable is referenced and put it in a ReadOnly lock, and find where a session variable is updated and put it in a Exclusive lock?
