expire application variable

2014-08-07 Thread John M Bliss
I have a case where I need to have an application variable expire after a known amount of time. Do you have a favorite method for doing this? I was thinking of something like: application.thevar = structnew(); application.thevar.createtick = gettickcount(); application.thevar.thevalue = foo;

Are you on ColdFusion 9+? Why not use the built-in cache functionality (cachePut(), cacheGet(), etc.)? If you are on ColdFusion 10+, you can even put related objects into a cache region and manually flush that region using CacheRemoveAll( region ) . -Carl V. On 8/7/2014 1:06 PM, John M
