this is what i did
<!--- Get default data from xml file --->
<cffile action="READ"
file="#ExpandPath('admin\threesquares\setup\config\')#config.xml"
variable="appConfig">
<cfapplication name="#myXML.config.applicationName.xmlText#Frontend"
sessionmanagement="Yes"
sessiontimeout="#myXML.config.sessionTimeout.xmlText#"
applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(7,0,0,0)#">
then you can set the vars as request vars so you can access them

Subject: [cfaussie] Re: getting sessiontimeout="10" as a variable
Hi Ricardo, I was thinking we may be talking at cross purposes, here...
You (and Taco with the sessiontracker idea) maybe meaning how long a user
has left on their particular session.
I'm after whatever value has been set for the session duration/timeout.
if I have <cfapplication sessiontimeout="10" I'm hoping to pick up that "10
minutes" as a simple variable on a cfm page to know how long sessions within
that application lasts for...
Without that, I'd have to go back and hook into the origional setting of
that value. For a turnkey app, that value is created during the install
process by the sysadmin and can change at a whim (and sometimes to their
detriment - give them enough rope).
Hooking into that at that point is do-able but it's a fair bit of a
reworking for just a simple application read-only setting (that, as I said,
is easily available on any page in ASP.NET).
that's why I said first up that it could be a dumb question - hoping it
could be easily done but I've yet to find out how or where...
thanx
