The set domain cookies issue losing CFID/CFTOKEN is an IE issue. I can't find the knowledge base item, but I remember I ran into this a long time ago. Try it in another "better" browser. If it works there, you still have the issue, but at least you know what is causing it.

Sometimes this happens if "Set domain cookies" is enabled. - j james curran technical director nylon technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] 212-691-1134 -----Original Message----- From: Ken Dunnington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 2:03 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Sessions, losing CFID/CFTOKEN What do most people prefer, Coldfusion or J2EE session variables? >From what I've researched, it seems that going with J2EE is the best choice, and I imagine that the main reason for sticking the old-school CF session variables would be to preserve legacy applications that relied on CFID and CFTOKEN cookies. With the two different types of session management, and several identifiers created in several scopes, things can get confusing. And this brings me to my question :) I'm having a problem where a client will occasionally lose their session while clicking around the site. I can see the CFID/CFTOKEN values change in the URL (as well as the cookie, client, and session scopes - yes, I did turn on EVERYTHING in cfapplication while testing :)) I've put locks around the code that modifies session scope variables. To make things more fun, this doesn't occur on all computers - only about half the machines in our office have this problem. I've done a lot of housecleaning in this app, which is good, but the site still isn't working properly, which is bad. How can I ensure that clients can actually keep their sessions? What if I don't have the option to use J2EE session vars? What are the best set of parameters to use in the cfapplication tag? Should I be using addToken to the cflocation tags I'm using (admittedly, I'm overusing them, and I think this likely contributes to the problem.) Where can I get some guidance on proper locking in MX 6.1? On a somewhat related note, I'm having a problem where I make consecutive function calls on an object located in session scope that make changes to the database, and it appears that either the second operation (which adds rows) is not being run, or is being run before the first operation (which deletes rows.) In other words, I call session.contact.clearAddresses() first, then session.contact.addAddress(addressStruct) and the new address never gets added. No errors, just an empty database. Sorry for the double question, I'd be happy with help on either :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185241 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
