I do exactly that, Rick, and it works fine. All my app vars are set in
onApplicationStart, except for the constants like 'name', which I set
outside the methods:
<cfcomponent output="false">
<cfscript>
this.name = "myAppName";
this.applicationTimeout = createTimeSpan(0, 8, 0, 0);
...
</cfscript>
<cffunction name = "onApplicationStart">
<cfset application.dsn= "myDatasource">
</cffunction>

Subject: Trying to understand application.cfc...
Ok...I worked with application.cfc's for awhile
and things seemed to work fine, but then I had some
issues and went back to old reliable application.cfm.
Now, however, I'd like to try again to get a grasp on
how to use application.cfc's.
First question:
Why can I set the application.website variable like this:
<cffunction name = "onRequestStart">
<cfset application.website = "RickFaircloth.com">
</cffunction>
But not like this:
<cffunction name = "onApplicationStart">
<cfset application.website = "RickFaircloth.com">
</cffunction>
???
OnApplicationStart would seem to be a more logical place
to set a global variable for an entire application than onRequestStart.
