Well, I don't fully understand where you're at applicationwise, but I try to use a cached query for most of my application-wide settings. Keeps the locks and copies to request scope down to near zero. The few values that need to tunnel down to custom tags (a couple of base url and file path settings) get converted to request scope in application.cfm.
I don't usually reset these values manually. I tend to go for short caches of about 10 seconds. If my server can't handle a db read once every 10 seconds I have bigger problems :D. Still, I hacked up a cfif to allow a manual reset below. This probably has no bearing on your needs... Just a little daffy after a weekend of solid coding and looking for a distraction. Egads... Escape from coding by hanging out on CF-Talk.

I assume you mean why would I refresh the application scope by using a link in the admin area? Because I'm too stupid to figure out a better way? :) I indeed thought I was saving overhead by not resetting the same application-scoped variables for every request...since they don't change often. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2003 2:30 PM Subject: RE: Refresh application-scoped variables > Pardon the intrusion, but why would you refresh the application scope > like this?
