Re: Locking Issue - Read value from APPLICATION scope & write it to SESSION scope

Yup... >To me, it just seems that you almost need to prove out that your >application is likely to allow a true race condition before locking >every call. Acknowledged. My (admittedly conservative) approach is to prove that the app _doesn't_ need locking rather than the reverse. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favour of eliminating both the extra coding burden as well as the overhead. That said, the docs seem to lean towards locking when in doubt... that and the fact I've had the whole locking religion hammered home relentlessly over the years. It may take me a while to get with the new program. ;-) ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Locking Issue - Read value from APPLICATION scope & write it to SESSION scope
Having a brain cramp on this one guys... How would one approach locking when reading a value from the APPLICATION scope and subsequently writing it to the SESSION scope..?

CFCHART & Percentage Values
Anybody know how to get CFCHART to display percentage values without ROUNDING up? From what I can tell, the current behavior ALWAYS rounds up. So, a value of 19.1% gets displayed as 20%. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Detecting CFLOCK
>What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Thanks for your reply. I'm using CFDOCUMENT enclosed in an exclusive CFLOCK to create a _BIG_ PDF file in a shared server environment. Under typical server load it takes around 30 seconds or so to create the PDF. However, sometimes it can take much longer -- or forever (literally). To keep the user amused while they wait, they get to watch a progress bar thingy. A javascript redirects to an ERROR screen after 60 seconds. While "USER A" is waiting for her PDF to be created I would like to prevent "USERS B,C,D..." from queing requests and display a "PLEASE WAIT" message or something. That's why I want to know when the CFLOCK is released. ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:218089 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
