I wish I could remember who mentioned this idea - it was an offhand remark that stuck in my head and it is working nicely (at least for the last 5 minutes in a test environment). Anyways, the idea concerned when you use an application scope variable to store information to keep from having to hit the database every page, you sometimes need to refresh the information, or load it when the CF service has been restarted. Their remark was to have that information in a WDDX string in a file. I expanded this to mean that when updating information in a maintenance screen, the data used in the application variable is written to a file. Now, when the application variable is refreshed or loaded it gets the latest information from that file, and never has to go through the code required to completely rebuild the data. Considering we are about to push a bunch of our product data from the database into complex structures in memory to speed the next version of the site up, this is going to work out great. So, kudos to whoever mentioned this! Made that $10 a worthwhile investment. :^� Dan The information contained in this message is privileged and confidential.
