I just set my session variables in the method I'm calling via jQuery/ajax ...any reason you can think of why that would be a bad idea?

In fact, I use it with mach-ii. Looks like you're using fusebox? Just a guess. Calling the CFC directly is your problem. When you do that, it bypasses the application.cfm/cfc, which is normally where your session scope is defined. Because you are not going through the same application scope, your session variables won't be there. Better to create an event (in mach-ii terms) that your application engine can understand and just pass it through that way, just like a normal browser call. instead of: /myapp/model/System.cfc?method=authenticate&returnFormat=json Something like index.cfm?fuseaction=authenticate Then let your framework do the rest. -dave evartt Westside wrote: > Hi, > > > I'm trying to use ColdFusion and JQuery but I'm having some problems > setting/reading session variables.
