>- see footer for list info -< All my client-state data I guess. I would only want a session ID to be stored in the cookie, I wouldn't want any so-called-session data stored there.
I'm new to CF and have read some articles to try get up to speed. The concept of the Client scope seems new and quite specific to CF. If I'm understanding it correctly, the Session scope is in RAM so no good for clustering and Client scope is basically the same as Session scope but you can store the data in a DB which is perfect for clustering... In other web dev environments you would just change the Session vars to be saved in a DB rather than using a different Object or scope type. To me it seems pointless even bothering to use Session scoped variables when Client scope does the basically same thing and is more scalable. I guess if i want to use a complex data type then I could use some form of JSON convertor? Thanks for your help!
