expire application variable
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; ...and then, on use, checking gettickcount() - application.thevar.createtick. Good? Better way? -- John Bliss - http://www.linkedin.com/in/jbliss ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:359089 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: expire application variable
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.
