Session Management in Application.cfc

[jeby]

I have always used an Application.cfm file for most of my webapps but I am
currently working on one that needed the functionality that the Application.cfc
method provides...

My question is do I enable session management the same was as I would in an
Application.cfm?

<cffuntion name="onApplicationStart">
<cfapplication sessionmanagement="yes">
</cffunction>

Thanks All!

No, it's a bit different with application.cfc, something like this:

<cfcomponent>
<cfset This.name = "myApplication">
<cfset This.Sessionmanagement = TRUE>
<cfset This.Sessiontimeout="#createtimespan(0,0,30,0)#">
<cfset This.applicationtimeout="#createtimespan(4,0,0,0)# ">

<cffunction name="onApplicationStart">
....here goes any additional stuff you wish to execute when the app is first
started
</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

The "this." scope is used within components (or functions), which keeps the
variable existing as long as the component exists (with application.cfc, all
the time), and the variables are accessible from outside the component too, by
prefixing the variable name with the instance name. That is, #this.name#
specified in application.cfc can be referenced elsewhere as #application.name#.

HTH. :-)
