[cfaussie] Re: Application Locking

[Gareth Edwards]

Wouldn't a named lock do what you need? <cflock name="_lucene" type="exclusive" timeout="30">     </cflock> Could set the timeout in seconds to more if need be? Cheers Gareth.

Would having all these locks make the next person doing this task wait, or will it make everyone wait? Dale Fraser wrote: What happens if I lock an application scoped variable. I have an application that can perform a task, which would cause trouble if two people were doing that task at the same time. So I thought I could either do it using an application lock block, but i'm not really sure if that would work. The operation takes 30 seconds or less, so i'd be happy for the next person to just wait until the application was ready. The second method I had in mind would be to have <cfloop _expression_="application.locked = true"> <!--- Do nothing and just wait ---> </cfloop> Not locked <cfset application.locked = true /> Do Task <cfset application.locked = false /> How would you do this.
