Multiple session timeouts for remote functions

If you create a sub directory with the CFC containing the remote functions and also have a separate Application.cfc, with the shorter session requirements in the same sub directory, any calls to the remote functions will use the new Application.cfc and not affect the main application. The Application.cfc in the  sub directory will need to specify a different application id.

<!--- 
Sets the session time-out to 5 seconds for EVERY user 
of the application 
--->
<cfset this.sessiontimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,5)>

<!--- 
Sets or changes the session time-out to 5 seconds for EVERY user of 
the application, once some user requests a page containing "Viewall"
--->
<cfif findnocase(ListLast(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME, "/"), "Viewall") gt 0>
     <cfset this.sessiontimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,5)>
</cfif>

Hello, Ed,

According to Adobe Help, the "this" scope is for the user session.

Life span, as a real number of days, of the user session, including all Session variables. Use the CFML CreateTimeSpan function to generate this variable's value.

So, if the remote call creates a new session, then you should be limiting the session for just that remote call.  This is not gospel, this is my best guess.

V/r,

UPDATE.. I may have read your question wrong.  The current user session is making a remote call, not the other way around.  So, yes, you'd be setting a timeout for that user's session.
