Shopping cart - brief

[GIGN]

Hi - what is your opinion on session management, and shopping carts in general - ASP vs. CFM.


Is there global.asa type thing in cfm?


This is about all I need I guess.

Cheers,

Global.asa? Is that a page to define like a global theme.. or code to execute in every page?

If so.. application.cfm will do that at the top of every page except cfincluded and custom tag calls.. and onrequestend.cfm will do the same at the bottom.

Application.cfm is the equivalent to global.asa.

I'm not a big fan of using session unless you have to. The new ASP.NET has some interesting things on session though. I think that asp and cf's session are pretty much the same.
