I think this would be a useful construct:
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="domain" NAME="variableTimeoutTrigger" VALUE
="init_domain.taf">
....
<@! re-initialize >
<@ASSIGN SCOPE="domain" NAME="variableTimeout" VALUE ="0">
So being able to timeout a scope, and do something with the trigger
(trigger doesn't fire in 5) would be a nice to have.

Thank you Dan, Stefan and Robert,
Although I was aware of some behavior change for VariableTimeout in
recent versions (like some scopes not expiring?), I was still
assuming that the VariableTimeout variable would still be present.
I'm maintaining a system for somebody that works very similar to
what you describe Robert, but the check variable the code was
calling was the VariableTimeout one - because at some point in the
past VariableTimeout was a reasonably dependable status check. So
that code was constantly updating the Domain scope vars with each
request.
Oh well, I fixed that now.
Thank you guys.

They used to, in 5.0, and with 5.0 we built our strategies around it.
I have never been comfortable, with ASSUMING a domain var is
populated correctly, so we tested heavily the process of
checking the
vars on each execution, which was so fast, it was almost
immeasurable. So from the time forward, with witango, we have a
policy in code, that on each execution, a process verifies that our
domain objects are initialized. Even though they are called
on server
startup. We don't necessarily check each domain var, but if I
know my
initialization method, sets many at once, we may just check one, or
check the object status, that created all of them, all of our domain
vars are managed in TCFs.

Subject: Witango-Talk: VariableTimeout auto assign?
Hi Folks,
I apologize that I'm not staying as up to date as some of
you with
Witango
programming, but could someone correct me if I’m wrong, but
shouldn't a
VariableTimeout variable be automatically assigned to each
variable scope?
I have several sets of domain scope variables (in a multi-domain
system using
a single set of TAF files), and I noticed that some of the domain
scopes don't
have a VariableTimeout variable.
Shouldn't there automatically be one when any domain scope var is
assigned? Or
have I totally lost my marbles?
The documentation doesn't explicitly say this, but is
implied with
"The system
scope version of this configuration variable determines the
default period, in
minutes, after which domain and user variables expire."
Running 5.5.009 Liquorice (Win32) on Windows 2003.
Calling @@Domain$variableTimeout returns an empty value, and is
not in the
<@VARNAMES SCOPE=domain> list.
Thank you in advance.
