I came across a problem after inheriting a site built by another company for a new client of ours (Lola Rose): Flash Remoting was not loading products correctly from the database (MySQL) at the very first request. The site was initially developed on a server running ColdFusion 6.1. I set up the new server with ColdFusion MX 7 and noticed log errors the first time Flash Remoting loaded the data. It frustrated myself and our Flash designer for a week before I stumbled across Ben Forta’s findings on ColdFusion MX 7 constructing invalid URLs when appending a jsessionid:

A terrible oversight by Adobe/Macromedia that caused us no end of problems. I’m hoping this post will save others the time and utter, abject frustration.
