Imagine the following scenario: - request A arrives at the server, copies the persistent information from the session to the request and starts a long query; - user gets impatient and clicks some other link; - request B arrives at the server, copies the persistent information from the session to the request and starts processing; - request B does something that is supposed to be persistent; - request B is ready and writes its data back to the session; - request A is finally ready and writes its data back to the session, overwriting the changes request A just made. > You thinking that's wrong seems to fly in the face of pretty much > everything I've ever read on the subject.

I do not think it is wrong if other people do that and then call us in to clean up the mess :) Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:268200 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
