Send variables through mutilple cfm pages

Its a simple login application

1)first i go to index.cfm page where i enter details.

2)It goes to login.cfm where i have written function calls to components(components are in separate cfc file ).

3) After authentication i will redirect him to index.cfm where i want to display success/failure message i.e set variable in login.cfm and display it on index.cfm

I don't want to use URL scope.

I could like to set it in request scope just like we do it in servlet request.setAttribute("var","value");

Depending on what sort of data you want to send the easiest way to send from 1 page to another is using the URL scope.

So in your URL you would have something like: http://www.domain.com/page.cfm?data=12345

Then on the page you sent it to you reference "url.data". For example <cfoutput>#url.data#</cfoutput> would produce 12345

If you have tried a method you are looking to use, post some code for people to look at and help you with the problem
