If the session is locked prior to calling isdefined('session.myvariable') it should throw an error. Anytime I have a session variable, I usually try to make it a structure within a variable, that way when I do <cfset variables.user = session.user>, I've got the whole structure (read: variables.user.myvariable) in one simple statement and I can do a readonly cflock scope on it to pull it local to the page.
Once it's a local variable isdefined('variables.user.myvariable') is no longer needed to be locked. ~Todd On Wed, 12 Jun 2002, Brian Eckerman wrote: > Is it absolutly necesary to cflock session variables. > ex. when doing an IsDefined(session.myvariable). > How could it hurt to not use them? > ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
