[b]ANY SUGGESTION IS APPRECIATED [/b]


I have a application that at the beginning, create this big empty session
structure (and arrays). Users go through a series of forms that populates the
structure. All data validation for mandatory forms is done server-side. For
some reason, data is lost. I have session variables (random) that are populated
from the same form end up empty and some not. I know this is an up in the air
question, but what's the first thing I should look at. Any help is better than
nothing. I've trying to solver this for quite some time.


thank you

1) The code the creates and sets the variables?

2) Make sure you understand the nature of sessions and applications and
how they relate in ColdFusion. As well as how they rely on an
'application name' string.

Thanks Ian.

Below is the code that creates the session. Once that's done the users goes
through the "wizard-like" forms and populates the keys.

As for #2, I'm not sure what you mean by [i]As well as how they rely on an
'application name' string.[/i]

In order for the ColdFusion server to know what session any given
request it receives belongs to, it uses the application name string
defined in a <cfapplication name="aString"...> or Application.cfc
this.name = 'aString'. If any template is associated with a different
application string OR no string at all, then it will have a different
session scope and not be able to access any data in other session scopes.

Ok Thanks,

All templates are part of one Fusebox application. So technically they should
all be under one application name. If this is the case, If multiple users are
on the application, the cf server cannot get mixed up in the sessions, can it?

Again thank you for doing this.
