RE: Question on Accessing Session Objects...

Maybe this is way oversimplifying it, but can't you just do a form post?  What kind of variables are you passing?  If it could go into a URL string, what i've done in the past is to just cfhttp to the asp page, and include the output as a variable.  Something like so:   <cfhttp url="myAspPage.asp?foo=bar&something=somethingElse">   Then on the ASP page, I just write some plain text (wddx, xml, or just foo = bar, something = somethingElse) and use that however I need to on my cfm page. -----Original Message----- From: Shane Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 2:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Question on Accessing Session Objects... Ah so if I'm on the same page as you then all I would need to do is stick a little bit of asp code in the asp pages to detect and deserialize the wddx and then maybe re-scope the variables into what ever the asp page was needing?   -----Original Message----- From: Hayes, Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 11:00 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Question on Accessing Session Objects...   Shane,       I think I might have a solution for both of us... thanks to John Beynon and a friend of his, I am on track now to solve the problem.  If you have access to the Advanced Application Development book by Ben Forta, take a look at the section on WDDX.  In a nutshell, ASP can create WDDX packets, and so can CF, so now all that needs to happen is to create the gate keeper between the two to pass things back and forth.  The book takes a couple chapters to get through all of it, but it does look like the answer.  As soon as I have it worked out for sure, I will contact you and show you what I did.   Joe -----Original Message----- From: Shane Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 1:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Question on Accessing Session Objects... I actually am faced with a need to go the other way, there is an existing asp application and it does a lot of heavy lifting dealing with active directory and exchange. I want to just pass the variables it needs for its processing to it but from a .cfm page.  I don't really know if its possible but I'm hoping so because rebuilding the whole mother in cf isn't in the cards right now.   -Shane   -----Original Message----- From: Hayes, Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 4:04 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Question on Accessing Session Objects...   I have a client that wants me to rewrite a portion of an application... the problem is that the main application is ASP and they want me to start a very slow conversion to Cold Fusion... well, I now have to deal with getting certain information from the ASP session.  Does anyone out there know how to grab the ASP session from within a Cold Fusion page?   Thanks!   Joe ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrFMa.bVYdUE Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================ ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrFMa.bV0Kx9 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
