Since Session variables reside in memory on each individual server, they can't be shared across a cluster. What you'll need to do is use client variables instead and store them in a shared datasource. This way all the servers have access to the same information. On a side note, I can't remember if client variables can store complex datatypes like arrays or structures or whether you will have to convert these to WDDX first... Perhaps someone else on the list could elaborate on this! If you are storing simple data types then there are no problems.
HTH, Jeff Garza -----Original Message----- From: S R To: CF-Talk Sent: 3/14/02 6:28 PM Subject: session variables and multiple servers We just changed our website from one being on one server to being on 3 redundant web servers. The problem is, the web farm switches from server to server every 15 minutes to whichever server has the least traffic, which causes me and any other user to have to re-login to password protected areas on the site every 15 minutes. How can I make session variables span across all three servers? Or should I look into other solutions?
