It's been a while since I last used WAR, but I'm fairly certain it allows you to write a custom DLL to respond to file uploads. You could write a quick and dirty extension to do whatever you want it to do. Check out www.jgaa.com for more info on it. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301)

bryan, I thought for sure I read that you couldn't store complex vars in a cookie.but I guess a wddx packet can really be percieved as a string, and if the length works, then it will be okbut not really the best way to do it...huh? ..tony Tony Weeg Senior Web Developer Information

cookie files have a limit of around 4K. No you can't put a complex var in a cookie (it's just a text file - you can only write a string to a text file) and yes, WDDX is just a string. Due to it's verbosity, if you're running CFMX I definitely recommend creating an XML packet and storing that in

Yes you do have to watch the upper cookie limits, but for what I'm doing (maintaining a 15 or so field reg form and the contents of a small shopping cart), it works great. You could have 1 cookie for each part of the form. Unless your forms are HUGE, I don't see a problem. Bryan Stevenson

How are you going to test byte length before adding it to the cookie? Come on, every way you cut it a cookie solutions is a bad idea. One character too many and the cookie is corrupted. Adam Wayne Lehman Web Systems Developer Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Distance Education

Gyrus, Don't put it in a cookie. If you corrupt a user's cookie, they will hate you forever. Every time they come back, the server will see it exists, but it won't be able to get any data out of it. Which really sucks. You really don't want to have to post detailed instructions on how to delete a

The database CLIENT/SESSION variables are the best way to do it. However, if you are coding blind, maybe you can just create some temporary XML files, and store them on the server. It's not going to be as responsive as the database, but it shouldn't be too bad. Ah, but I don't know if CFFILE

An easy way around this is to dump the arguments struct into the variables or request scope, which IS available to the calling template. Note, I received errors when I tried to copy a var from the argument scope to the local scope like this: cfset var MyID=arguments.campaignID But doing this
