Not if the variables are set in the onServerStart method. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 08, 2007 3:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Set server var at startup?
I think I did hear Ben Forta say server variables are not recommended. I can't remember any reasons why though. My question would be how are you setting the server variable? Going back to Phil B's original question of can you set it at server startup? No. So if you are setting server variables in Application CFC, then it seems to me that the variable is actually an application variable. The company I work for now uses a platform config xml file which has server settings (which are specific to the server and application). So each app has it's own config file, with sections in it per server. Matt On 6/8/07, J.J.
