All web servers (worth their salt) have some notion of concurrency. It's hard to say without seeing code, but it's certainly possible to get read requests before you've finished writing the initial structure. This in itself isn't really a race condition -- you just read it on one state and it changed later.
The classic "race condition" comes when process A reads the data, then process B reads the data.. then process A *changes* the data, and then B uses his copy of the data (which is now stale) to overwrite process A's changes with his own. If your processes aren't changing anything, it's likely not a race condition. Can you describe what the problem actually is without giving away trade secrets? :) On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 3:47 PM, Doug Boude <[email protected]> wrote: > It's Coldfusion...Java based tag library.
