Conclusion
Other technologies can integrate into this method of managing client state, including the use of WDDX to store more complex user data across your pages. As always seems to be the case, the possibilities with CF are endless. The real point here is to be aware that the "Session Variables versus Clustered Servers" battle exists and to be ready to deal with it - whether on a new project or as someone responsible for retrofitting an existing application. Armed with this information, you'll be able to build clustering support into any application you're involved with and perhaps explore additional performance or timesaving methods of accomplishing these goals. Half of your success as a developer will always come from asking the right questions before you write a single line of code.

If you should find some additional ways of extending the techniques I've discussed in this article, I'd be happy to hear from you.
