if you switch between two different <cfapplication> tags, you can effectively go back and forth between multiple sets of session and application variables within the same request, allowing you to pull in some values from one app into another, like if you have an application.dsn that you want to use from one app in another related/sub-app.
<cfapplication name="app1"> <cfset getdsn1=application.dsn> <cfapplication name="app2"> <cfset getdsn2=application.dsn> <cfapplication name="app3"> <cfset getdsn3=application.dsn> hurrah. now you have all three dsn or whatever. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 18:07 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: CFAPPLICATION question. > > > Mark, > > If someone creates an application within an application, they > don't nee > application.cfm as CF will search backwards till it finds > one.
