[thelist] CFLOCK help request

[Raymond Camden]

It looks the server is set to require locking - so you need to add a
lock around the entire cfif block - because isDefined is like a read.

Unfortunately, you may also do a write inside, so, things get a bit
complex. Here is my rewrite, it's just one of the ways you can do it.

<cflock scope="session" type="readOnly" timeout=3>
	<cfif isDefined("session.calendarID") and session.calendarID neq
attributes.calendarID>
		<cfset variables.needUpd=1>
	</cfif>
</cflock>

<cfif isDefined("variables.needUpd")>
	<cflock scope="session" type="exclusive" timeout=3>
		<cfset session.calendarID = attributes.calendarID>
		<cfset client.optionsSet = "no">
		<cfinclude ....>
	</cflock>
</cfif>

> <CFIF IsDefined("Session.CalendarID")>
>
> 		<CFIF #Session.CalendarID# NEQ #Attributes.CalendarID#>
> 			<CFLOCK name="Session.CalendarID" timeout="10">
> 				<CFSET Session.CalendarID =
> #Attributes.CalendarID#>
> 			</CFLOCK>
> 			<CFSET Client.OptionsSet = "no">
> 			<CFINCLUDE
> template="/calendar/common/act_options.cfm">
> 		</CFIF>
> 	</CFIF>
