No offense, but it sounds like urban legend to me. Assuming it's properly implemented, the "Single Threaded Sessions" option should only have a significant effect in situations where two ColdFusion requests are being made at the same time within the same session, i.e. when two browser framed windows are loaded at once. Even on a framed site, this would be a relatively rare event.
I've never heard a convincing argument for locking session variable access. The only exception I make is when I don't have control of the CF Administrator settings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Arnold - ASP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 4:40 AM Subject: RE: Complete lack of locking... > > Why not just enable the "Single Threaded Sessions" option?
