coldfusion - Same application name on multiple IIS sites -

In the context of both aesthetics and architecture, our website is prominently redesigning. To avoid locking applications against updates during this redesign, we want to redesign one module at a time and pass users just between old and new sites as needed. However, we have several session notifications including our logs, which require us to be protected in this shuttle.

If we set up two separate Webstrot folders with ColdFusion files (one for the old one) for each own IIS site, but to use the same application name Setting up application.cfc files in both, sessions and application scopes will be preserved as users move forward between two sites? Will this cause any unexpected problem?

We are using ColdFusion 9.

While this will work, as Dan suggested, this is not a great idea. For one thing you will not have any qualifications to change anything in the site app without affecting Site A. Without affecting this B It can present head-scratching worms. Consider the DSN names which are often in the field of application. Unless you are not using the exact same DSN for both sites, whichever site is initialized first, it is going to decide which DSN is used - so you basically use the exact same app Will have to live with scope.

However, this can be done for a simple example, see this post which can be helpful.
