Application session

[Guest_imported]

Can someone give me an example of setting application, session and client variables in one template and reference them in another?

there is more that one way to do that; here is my way that I think is quite code efficient:


<!--- application.cfm --->

<!--- make the session, application, and client management available to the application --->
<cfapplication
name=&quot;ApplicationName&quot;
sessionmanagement=&quot;Yes&quot;
setclientcookies=&quot;Yes&quot;
sessiontimeout=&quot;#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,20,0)#&quot;
applicationtimeout=&quot;#CreateTimeSpan(2,0,0,0)#&quot;
clientmanagement=&quot;Yes&quot;>

<!--- set the session variables... --->
<!--- I create them as a structure because I can easily then read them and put them in any other scope --->
<cfif NOT IsDefined(&quot;session.stSessionData&quot>
<cflock scope=&quot;session&quot; timeout=&quot;30&quot; throwontimeout=&quot;No&quot; type=&quot;exclusive&quot;>
<cfscript>
session.stSessionData = StructNew();
StructInsert(session.stSessionData, &quot;message&quot;, &quot;Hi you!&quot;, 1);
</cfscript>
</cflock>
</cfif>


<!--- loop the structure and dynamically create variables using the the key values and put them in the request scope --->
<cflock scope=&quot;session&quot; timeout=&quot;30&quot; throwontimeout=&quot;Yes&quot; type=&quot;readonly&quot;>
<cfloop collection=&quot;#session.stSessionData#&quot; item=&quot;i&quot;>
<cfscript>
&quot;request.#i#&quot; = session.stSessionData[&quot;#i#&quot;];
</cfscript>
</cfloop>
</cflock>




<!--- any other template controled by the above application template such as index.cfm --->

<cfoutput>#request.message#</cfoutput>
