SOLVED Re: WDDX, cookies, and Netscape
It's definately a cookie size issue.we tested with a smaller packet size and all is well...now each step gets it's own cookie. Thanks for the link to the tag RayI'll check it out. I personally NEVER use the SESSION scope just so that I NEVER have to worry about an application moving to a clustered server environment and having session issuesif sessions are client side...life is good and scalable.I've heard MX has perhaps sorted out some of the older CF loss of session issues with clustered servers.but I know my approach will always work...so for now I'm sticking (hehe) with it.

RE: WDDX, cookies, and Netscape
As far as I know cookies cannot exceed 4k regardless of browser. Which I think is like 256 chars. . I'm positive about the 4k part, but not the 256 char part.

RE: SOLVED Re: WDDX, cookies, and Netscape
If you can't use session vars, or client vars, consider using a database and simply get/set on each request. It isn't the best solution, but its workable. Use a cookie to just record the PK for the user, but be sure to not use sequential PKs. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: SOLVED Re: WDDX, cookies, and Netscape
Thanks again Rayyeah I should have mentioned...my session handling (seperate from this cookie issue) involves a client cookie holding a session ID (session_ID relates to a User_ID) and that cookie value can then be used to get user details (like name, user group, etc.).So yes...I use a client var/database approach.rock solidnever lost a session in 6 years ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
