ColdFusion sessions work automatically with Flash Remoting - the Flash Player manages the cookies. > Like I said, I've never tried it, but I believe it works.

Yes, most web services assume that the client will not manage cookies and therefore they require you to use a variety of methods to manage state across multiple calls. That means that ColdFusion sessions will not work with web services (because you can't rely on the client to manage cookies for you). Often you make a specific web service call that returns a "token" that has to be submitted in subsequent method calls (often as a SOAP header) and the web service "provider" uses the "token" to manage state - in CF you could use a struct in application scope with UUIDs as keys and hand out the UUID in that first web service call and use what gets passed in on subsequent calls to lookup data in that application scope struct. Of course, you also then need to have a scheduled task that cleans up 'old' UUID entries - effectively mimicking the whole session management process... -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 2 invites "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
