I have a couple of questions about locking. Now, before you groan, I *do* know how I should be locking, where I should be locking, and why.
What I am unclear on is exactly what the effects of using different values for timeout and throwontimout. I presume timeout is in seconds; how long should the average application require to obtain a lock? When should I set this value higher or lower? What is the prctical effect of having it too high or too low? Also, throwontimeout - if I set this to yes, I presume I should then be using cftry and cfcatch to handle the timeout? What if it's set to no? Will the request keep trying to obtain a lock? Any insight would be really great... I'm hoping to take the certification exam in January, and there's so many niggly areas where I just *have* to know :) Thanks, Kay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
