I don't know the exact, internal details, but application.cfc is called on each request and knows ONLY about the current request. Other than putting data into scopes such as application, sesssion or server, nothing is kept from one request to another, within application.cfc. In this respect, application.cfc is the same as application.cfm. Mike

With normal cfc's I believe that the code above the first method runs only when a new instance of the cfc is created, or when the cfc is invoked as a static component. It seems a bit strange to me that the <cfif isDefined("url.reloadConfig") AND (isBoolean(url.reloadConfig) AND url.reloadConfig)> <cfset onApplicationStart() > </cfif> <cfif isDefined("url.reloadSession") AND (isBoolean(url.reloadSession) AND url.reloadSession)> <cfset onSessionStart() > </cfif> are even executed. Does this mean that a new instance of Application.cfc is created for every request, or that it is invoked statically? I would have expected that one instance is shared across requests within an application.
