Keeping Session Alive Between Application

[Nomad2]

How do I keep a session alive between application back and forth. For instance, upon login, I want to keep a user login id alive until he/she logouts. How can I achive this if I have several CFAPPLICATION in different path to begin with. I understand that, a session is terminated once a user move between the application

You could save the session variables to a database as they change, and then when you change applications, just read the variables from the db....

Hope this helps...

are you trying to say, to enable

<cfapplication clientstorage=&quot;registry/cookie&quot; clientmanagement=&quot;yes&quot; ...>

i am actually ony enableing session management. trying not to use cookie/database. Is it possible

It's certainly possible to do this without cookies, but if you need to pass the session variables from one application to another, you'll need to store their values SOMEWHERE... I would do it in a database. This way, when the new application is hit, it can check for all the session values stored in the db. You could also use CFFILE, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you want to delete a bunch of files constanly (after the sessions are over, of course, something like this COULD be automated to some degree)....

i am beggining to understand the importance of storage. However, when you mean database, it is on the server side, right. How am I suppose to manage this data stored in database while enabling a timespan for this storage

if possible, could you privide a sample code
