Because if you don't restart CF then the Application is already started and onApplicationStart will never fire. The Application starts on the first browser request to the CF server after the CF server is started.
Additionally, you may want to close and re-open your browser to get onSessionStart to fire. - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Bert Dawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 6:50 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: can't get onApplicationStart to fire... No, but then why should i? If the methods were getting called then the ?.started variables would be getting set, but only request.started is getting set.
