Rick,
One thing I do is to place a piece of code into the onRequestStart method to
reinit the application variables. This will let you set variables in the
onApplicationStart method and be able to change them without having to restart
ColdFusion or wait for the application to timeout.
In you onRequestStart() function, place the following:
<cfif StructKeyExists(URL, "reinit")>
<cfscript>
OnApplicationStart();
</cfscript>
</cfif>
Then, call your website like http://www.yourwebsite.com?reinit=1
This will allow you to update your Application scoped variables if you have
them all set up in the onApplicationStart() function.

Thanks for the reply, Jason...

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:
Any wrong or missing?

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:
this.name = "myAppName";
this.applicationTimeout = createTimeSpan(0, 8, 0, 0);
