>- see footer for list info -< The main difference between the scopes, other than what Adrian said, is for replication. Because session vars are stored in memory, session replication can be a problem in a cluster. If your client vars are stored in cookie or database then this is not an issue because they are not machine specific.
Application vars are application wide. As Adrian said, client vars cannot store complex data, so if you want to store queries, cfc'c (not recommended), array's or the likes then you will need to serialize them (into WDDX for example) first. - -- Russ Michaels Certified ColdFusion Professional My Blog: www.russ.michaels.me.uk Commerical ColdFusion & BlueDragon Hosting: www.cfmxhosting.co.uk FREE CFML Developer hosting : www.cfdeveloper.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Middleweek Sent: 02 April 2008 12:18 To: Coldfusion Development Subject: Re: [CF-Dev] CF Sessions >- see footer for list info -< Thanks for the reply Adrian... We're running on Windows but how can the Client vars be on the users machine? I can't see how the browser can write any kind of variable (except a cookie) to the users machine. What's the difference between Session and Client Scope? Is there an Application Scope as well?
