I would advise against accessing the component directly. As a general rule, you should not have any CFC access a scope outside of itself. I would suggest one of the following two approaches: 1. Use a façade to the application scope By using a façade, only one component is tied directly to the application scope. 2. Injection Using either constructor or setter injection, pass the object in as a variable.
