Session Timeout
Using the following code in CFMX 6.1 works perfectly when placed in the Application.cfm file:

Code:
<cfapplication name="TimeMeOut" 
clientmanagement="Yes" 
applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 15, 0)#" 
sessionmanagement="Yes" 
sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 15, 0)#">

Was wondering if it is possible to exclude a specific folder from using this logic to timeout?

If so, can you use a template path variable and set up an IF statement? Like:

Code:
<CFIF #Find('\dontTimeoutFolder\',CGI.CF_TEMPLATE_PATH)# is not 0>
  <cfapplication name="TimeMeOut" 
  clientmanagement="Yes" 
  sessionmanagement="Yes">
<CFELSE>
  <cfapplication name="TimeMeOut" 
  clientmanagement="Yes" 
  applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 15, 0)#" 
  sessionmanagement="Yes" 
  sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 15, 0)#">
</CFIF>

thanks!

You should be able to put a cfapplication tag with the same name but a different timeout value in the subdirectory (it its own Application.cfm file). CF will execute that Application.cfm file instead, and your alternate timeout will be used.

While we're on the topic, I couldn't get my session to time out...

I had it set at like 5 seconds, waited 5 seconds, hit refresh, but it never kicked me back to a login screen...any ideas?

hmmm, I've never seen this problem. An easy way to prove that it is working is to create a single page with a cfapplication tag, then cfparam a session variable with #now()# (the current time), and finally dump the session scope with cfdump var="#session#". Wait for the timeout and rerun the page and you should see that the session variable has been recreated with a new time, since the old one had timed out.
