Isn't RTF Manual or RTF Mail Archives the answer to everything? :)
Without getting into a huge discussion on state . . . the answer to your
CFID/CFTOKEN problems is that you have to have setclientcookies="yes".
Without passing cfid/cftoken in every link, form, etc., the only way to have
them carry from page to page is in the client's cookies.

Don't take the silence of the list on this thread to mean we don't have
anything to say. It's just such a HUGE topic that is pretty well covered in
all the ColdFusion books, and many of us are thinking "Read The F#@king
Manual!"
SoOoOo, if you have a more specific question about maintaining state, you
might have better luck getting a response.

I'm interested in this thread as well. I've been reading up on this and
haven't quite gotten it down yet. I've noticed the same thing myself, but
not all the time. In some instances, the CFID & CFTOKEN stay the same when
traversing my app, but in others, it changes. I know I'm missing a little
tid-bit of information on this.
I did read that you don't need to pass #urltoken# when you use <cflocation>
because it does it automatically for you.
Anyway, I'm interested if someone can elaborate on state management.
Thanks,
~Mark

Subject: Maintaining Proper State
Can anyone give a _good_ explanation of CFID/CFTOKEN & State Management?
I've switched my client variable storage to a sql database in an effort to
eliminate cookies and have been watching exactly what is being entered for
the first time ... and it is confusing me.
I can sit on the homepage of a server that is not getting hit by anyone else
but myself and watch three rows with 3 different cfid/cftoken get generated.
I place #URLTOKEN# at the very top (just under app_globals) and at the very
bottom of the page and both produce the same cfid/cftoken ... so, why are
there three new entries in the database with different cfid/cftoken?
Now, if I hit reload the cfid and cftoken that are being displayed on the
page changes and three new entries are added to the database .... Since I'm
using the same application shouldn't I keep the same cfid/cftoken? If I
store a series of client variables in the database and the end user hits
reload ... a new session is created and all the client variables are no
longer accessible unless I've somehow recorded what the cfid/cftoken was
before they hit reload? Does this sound right?
It would appear that you need to establish the application and then pass
cfid/cftoken in every link, form, and cflocation to maintain state? Is this
correct?
TIA
