or you can do
<cflock name="appvars" type="exclusive" timeout="5" throwontimeout="yes">
<cfscript>
application.myVar = "this is a test";
application.myVar2 = "this is also a test";
application.foo = "bar";
</cfscript>
</cflock>
If you bench mark these calls, you do find out that naming the lock when
accessing APPLICATION vars is more efficient, rather than using the
scope="application". If you choose to do this though, make sure you re-use
the same lock name when you access all application references, including
READ locks, otherwise you run into issues.
<cflock name="appvars" type="readonly" timeout="5" throwontimeout="yes">
<cfscript>
myvar1 = application.myVar;
myvar2 = application.myVar2;
foobar = application.foo;
</cfscript>
</cflock>

Hi Nick,
You need to specify the APPLICATION scope in your CFLOCK tag. You should
put the following CFML around any other CFML that access the application
scope:
<cflock scope="application" type="exclusive" timeout="10">
...CFML...
</cflock>
