In Application.cfc, I know that OnApplicationStart is called when an application starts. I'd like to define that better. From what I've read, this is when the first page is requested from an app (also possible are event gateways and Flash remoting but I'm not using either). So, if I say:
this.applicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0); in my Application.cfc and a day goes by since calling OnApplicationStart, isn't it true that the server doesn't invoke my code on its own (like a cron job). It waits for a day to go by and then invokes OnApplicationStart on the next page request - even if that request is hours later? I'm asking because I'm trying to track down some odd behavior in a customer's app. The OnApplicationStart code looks at CGI.SERVER_NAME to determine which config file to load (production, staging, dev, etc.). Twice in the last 6 months, the production system starts to think it's a dev system. Are there cases where CGI.SERVER_NAME could be empty or undefined or... when OnApplicationStart is called? Can I trust that CGI var's are always set correctly in this scenario? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:343352 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
