Thanks for the reply, Jason... Well...I swear, the first time I tried to set application.website inside onApplicationStart, I got an error saying application.website wasn't defined. Now, for some reason, it works.
The only thing I added was output="false" as you have in your example. At first, I used: <cfcomponent> <cfset this.name = "siteManager"> <cfset this.sessionManagement = true> <cfset this.sessionTimeout = "#createTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)#"> <cfset this.applicationTimeout = "#createTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)#"> <cffunction name = "onApplicationStart"> <cfset application.website = "RickFaircloth.com"> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> Any wrong or missing? -----Original Message----- From: Jason Fisher [mailto:ja...@wanax.com] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 2:17 PM To: cf-talk Subject: re: Trying to understand application.cfc... 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> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336236 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
