Actually, it was a question for you because if there locks should be used in every situation then why even make it an option for the programmer? And I do disagree with you. Locking at the CFML layer should definitely be slower than locking at the CFAS layer because of the issue of interpretation and execution rather than pure execution of native code.
I will state that I can't back any of this up because I don't know the inner workings of the server. - Matt Small -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 3:40 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: UDF question > But shouldn't this whole issue be written into the server code? > Wouldn't it would run much faster that way than both the > individual sets > of cflocks that you've portrayed and the reality which is > sets of locks > around blocks of session accesses?

Again, speaking as a guy who has never used C++ or any other 'deep' language (well, Java, but Java is easy ;), I don't think you are right, and I HIGHLY encourage anyone out there to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not saying the server CANT do the lock, I'm just saying that it could not be as fast as lettering the user make specific locks. > And as long as we're here, show me a single time when you > don't want to > use locks around a session scope. > Um.... I can't, because I _always_ think you should use locks. Did you mean that question for me? ;) ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
