It seems to me that it's the same trouble either way. Neither option is a
default, and both options are checkboxes in the ColdFusion Administrator. I
guess there is the matter of the cookie, but you're going to need code to
initialize your session scope either way.

We control all the servers. We just don't control all the code. :)

I ran into a few other issues with J2EE sessions. If you enable J2EE
sessions, cfid and cftoken are no longer available in the session scope (if
memory serves). If you're coding an app from scratch, that's not a problem,
however, many third part apps, have been designed to use ColdFusion
sessions.

Personally, I would really like to see J2EE sessions configurable at the
application level. Without that, they are pretty much useless to me.
