Check if Session still exists

Question

On the time of login, coldfusion server assigns me a CFID and a CFTOKEN. Later on using those CFID and CFTOKEN how can I check if my session still exists or not.

In other words I want a function that will take CFID and CFTOKEN and will tell if the session related to those CFID and CFTOKEN still exists or not.

Thanks

The easiest way to achieve this would be to set a flag in the session when your user logs in.

for example

<cfset session.loggedin = true />

then when you want to check if the user still has a valid session you can do

<cfparam name="session.loggedin" default="false" />
<cfif NOT session.loggedin>
  <!--- do something here --->
</cfif>
