the 'this' scope corresponds to the CFAPPLICATION tag, not the application scope. If you want to set stuff into the application scope you have to use it literally. A concrete example: setting this.name is equivalent to passing the NAME attribute to CFAPPLICATION, which in turn is available as the application.applicationname variable.
