Dwayne, Ok - if you use the application scope you don't need to serialize it. You can store it directly as a structure - removing that step. However, you would still have to lock it (on cf 5) when you read it. The client scope WILL require you to wddx it. I have a couple of application where I store a small lookup query in the application scope and it works fine. The session scope will require you creating a bunch of structures in memory (one for each user) which are presumably the same data - so I would think that is the wrong approach - unless the menu system varies from user to user.
As far as question 2, <cfset Request.Mystruct = duplicate(session.mystruct)> for a copy, <cfset Request.Mystruct = session.mystruct> by reference. -Mk -----Original Message----- From: Dwayne Cole [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 9:54 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: WDDX in Session Variables I store my navigation system as a array of structures coverted to a WDDX packet. I don't want to rebuild the packet for each page request, so I'm thinking about storing the packet in the application, client or session scope. I have two questions 1). Is anyone storing WDDX packets in application,client, or session scope. If so, would you please share your experience. 2). What is the best way to get a complex data types like an array of structures of arrays from the session scope to the request scope.
