I agree. The article claims they don't automate locking for (1) performance issues. Well, if I do all the same locks by hand the performance will be WORSE, and (2) to give the developer the option to do less granular locks. How about giving me the option to set a manual lock but otherwise automat

I read that paper, and still would like to have an option for automatic locking. Maybe add an attribute to the cfapplication tag: automatic locking: on |off The development time saved on it will more than offset the cost of a faster processor needed for the 2 or 3 microseconds added t

IF all reads and writes of memory variables have to be locked, why do we have to be concerned with it? Why can't cold fusion just automatically lock them? Has Allaire ever responded on this issue? Maybe we could all email the request to allaire? I have thousands of templates that were wri

The consensus was *NEVER* that you didn't have to lock reads. Cold Fusion doesn't FORCE locking - it is up to you to lock access to an Application variable. If you lock the writes but don't lock the reads, then when Cold Fusion comes upon a read without a lock it will blindly run the read even i

You had problems reading without locking, BUT, were you possibly writing to those variables at the same time? I was at a CF seminar and the speaker said you do not need to lock application variables IF YOU KNOW they will not be written to during the read. Maybe its a datasource name thats only wri
