[cfnew]

Hi i got error

Element CFID is undefined in SESSION.

i had a file test.cfm and in this i hada session logic as

<cflock scope="session" timeout="10">
    <cfset myURLToken = session.URLToken />
</cflock>

<cfoutput><cflock scope="session" timeout="10">
    <input type="hidden" name="CFID" value="#session.CFID#" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cftoken" value="#session.cftoken#" />
</cflock></cfoutput>

but when i try to run thepage i am getting error . Please help me how  to solve this error .

Thanks.

I've seen this happen when you do a StructClear(Session). If that's

not it then we need more info: does it happen with a simple

Application.cfm file, what does your cfapplication tag look like, etc.

my cfapplication tag looks like this

<cfapplication name="project"
               sessionmanagement="Yes"
               setclientcookies="Yes"
               applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)#">

<cfapplication name="project"
               sessionmanagement="Yes"
               setclientcookies="Yes"
               applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)#">

That's a rather low application timeout you've got there.  Do you mean to be setting it to zero?

(I can't see how this would impact your sessions, having said that)

What are your session timeout settings in CFAdmin?

i changed code as this

<cfoutput><cflock scope="session" timeout="10">
    <input type="hidden" name="sessionid" value="#session.sessionid#" />
     <input type="hidden" name="cftoken" value="#session.cftoken#" />
</cflock></cfoutput>

now i am getting errror as

Element CFTOKEN is undefined in SESSION.

applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)#"

That is, give the application a finite timeout before you proceed any further.

[cfnew]

when i changed the application timeout variable, still getting the same error.

my debug output is like this

this is application that is migrated from cf5 to cf8 . so i think is there any problem from this migration?

Well you can get rid of all the <cflock> tags around most reads/writes to shared scope variables now, anyhow.  It won't impact your problem, but it will impact your application's performance (for the better).

Does this error happen all the time for all accesses to session.CFID, or just sometimes, or what?  Is anything else going missing from the session?

i dont know exactly, because this is my support issue working now and i need to fix this asap.

I have no idea how  to fix this

[Dan_Bracuk]

Start with the basics.  cfdump your session scope.  What do you see?

[cfnew]

when i dumped this i got these values

A quick workaround is to use list functions on session.urltoken.  You have to treat it as a nested list.  The outer delimiters is & and the inner is =.

The rest is beyond my level on knowlege.

[cfnew]

when i changed this code to this code it is working, is this way is correct or i am making any mistake.

<cfoutput><cflock scope="session" timeout="10">
    <input type="hidden" name="CFID" value="#session.sessionid#" />
     <input type="hidden" name="cftoken" value="#cookie.cftoken#" />
</cflock></cfoutput>

[BKBK]

<cflock scope="session" timeout="10">
    <cfset myURLToken = session.URLToken />
</cflock>

<cfoutput><cflock scope="session" timeout="10">
    <input type="hidden" name="CFID" value="#session.CFID#" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cftoken" value="#session.cftoken#" />
</cflock></cfoutput>

Now, drop the locks. You don't need them in CF8, at least, not as they're applied here. Do instead

    <cfset myURLToken = session.URLToken />

   <cfoutput> <input type="hidden" name="CFID" value="#session.CFID#" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cftoken" value="#session.cftoken#" /></cfoutput>

[cfnew]

no it does not works if i removed locks, still getting errorwhen i removed locks

Element CFID is undefined in SESSION
