I used this method once - Russ suggested an idea for a tag that accepts a list of variable names and then it copies all the those that exist in the session scope into the request scope.
I made it into a tag and it worked brilliantly, so that on each page I only needed to name the session or app vars that I needed copying into the request scope for that page. eg: <cf_apptap vars="myvar1,myvar2,myvar3" scope="session"> would copy session.myvar1, session myvar2 and session.myvar3 into request.myvar1 etc etc. on another page you might only need to request.myvar1 so you would just do: <cf_apptap vars="myvar1"> it saved duplicating everything all the time. > -----Original Message----- > From: Taz -=TT=- [mailto:chris@;cfmaster.co.uk] > Sent: 17 October 2002 11:09 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [ cf-dev ] Good/Bad? > > > > > > > Thanks guys you have confirmed what I thought : it is all over the > > place...the system is very poor and indeed needs a rewrite > but thats not > on > > the cards. > > > > what needs to be done is to copy the session variables into > the request > > scope to avoud locking them.... > > > > its a nightmare, it really is! > > Its not a bad thing to do...
