Title: RE: Session variable

Not to create confusion, but the Duplicate function should be used to duplicate structures...not keys.  If uid was a structure then Duplicate might help.....Or if you said Duplicate(Session), that might work, but you would be copying the entire session scope to the request.uid...In this case that would not make sense...

Try using the Duplicate Function:

(<CFLOCK TIMEOUT="5" THROWONTIMEOUT="Yes" TYPE="EXCLUSIVE" SCOPE="SESSION">
        <CFSET session.uid = GetUser.uid>
          <CFSET request.uid = Duplicate(session.uid)>
    </CFLOCK>)

I setup session variable on one page:

(<CFLOCK TIMEOUT="5" THROWONTIMEOUT="Yes" TYPE="EXCLUSIVE" SCOPE="SESSION">
        <CFSET session.uid = GetUser.uid>
          <CFSET request.uid = session.uid>
    </CFLOCK>)

However, when I open another page it does not exist. How to make sure that
session var. does exist?

<CFIF (NOT IsDefined("session.uid"))>
    <CFIF IsDefined("form.action") AND (form.action IS "login")>
        <CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="actions/login.cfm">
    </CFIF>
