You can try putting most of your OnApplicationStart code into cfinclude files and call those cfinclude file in some other reload page. This has an advantage over calling OnApplicationStart again if there are some things that OnApplicationStart does that you don't want to do a second time, such as reinitializing a list of logged-in users. If you just want to reload some application-scope variables or some cached functions, calling the entire OnApplicationStart again might be overkill. Another way to do this is to put conditionals in the OnApplicationStart block that only reinitializes certain sections depending on the input variables (commonly a URL variable).
My guess is that you don't actually want to expire the application in order to reload a few variables. If you do want to expire the application, there are ways to do this. Setting the application timeout = 0 is one way. -Mike Chabot On Jan 3, 2008 3:06 PM, Brian Kotek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can just call onApplicationStart() again, but be aware that it won't be > thread safe as it is when the application starts up. > > On Jan 3, 2008 3:01 PM, Adkins, Randy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Question: > > When using the onApplicationStart within an Application.cfc, lets say I > > wanted to restart the Application to pickup some changes. > > Now I know you can cycle the CF Services but I do not have that access > > to the server. > > > > What is another way besides creating a temp file to explicitly reset > > those variables? > > Is there a way to make the Application expire and restart (sort of > > speak)? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295789 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
