In this show we talk about my VFS File Browser project. We talk a little using Flex and ORM. Dave gets censored when he jumps on a soap box responding to a user comment about frame works.

Aug 28, 2009 at 5:25 PM Just listening again to the 'cast and noticed that you said that your large work app was originally written in CF3. Perhaps you could speak sometime about the things you do when you are upgrading to a new version of CF. I've read several blogs that talked about the server perspective, transferring server settings etc. I haven't seen anything that talks about the code/developer perspective. Is your testing any different than getting a new app ready? What problems have you encountered over the years as you moved this app from version to version? Do you feel like you can anticipate problems now?
Sep 2, 2009 at 9:46 PM I enjoy your blog and I think that you guys should get a ColdFusion t-shirt for all the good you are doing! :)
Here is an issue that I've been wrapping my head around and I don't know the best approach to take.
Currently we are running CF Standard and when a user logs in we simply set a session variable.
We are now adding another CF Standard server w/a load balancer and are implementing sticky sessions.
Even though there is persistence at the Load Balancer level there is always the chance that the load balancer
might redirect from server A to server B. Thus logging the user out.
In .NET you can store sessions within the database but in CF there is no such option.
How do I share session between servers?
People have mentioned using Client variables because they can be stored in a central place available to all servers
but I'm not sure about this idea because client variables will persist unless explicitly deleted.
Can you briefly explain how you guys handle this on the 9 CF servers that you are in charge of?
Thanks,
Frederik
