re[2]: [ACFUG Discuss] Development vs Production Application.cfm and other things...

[Mischa Uppelschoten]

FWIW, I am creating application objects in application.cfc   application.Order = createobject("Component", #application.ComponentsLocation# & "Order");   this way CF doesn't have to create and destroy these static objects all the time. For development this doesn't work so well because you'd have to reload your application vars every time you change one of these static cfc's. To help with that, I have defined an OnRequestStart function that does this. There is of course a performance penalty, but for dev that doesn't matter:   <!--- this resets all application vars for every page request. Do this in dev only! --->  <cffunction name="OnRequestStart" returntype="void">     <cflock scope="Application" timeout="10" type="exclusive">    <cfinvoke component="YourWebSiteRoot.Application" method="onApplicationStart" returnvariable="Foo"></cfinvoke>   </cflock>  </cffunction>   HTH /m   : I like to keep the application.cfc the same and use an XML file to store the :  application variables and their values that differ on each machine.  So, in :  the application.cfc on application start, you can execute a component that :  can parsethe XML and set application scope vars accordingly. :    : Wes :    :   : From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Ajas Mohammed :  Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2009 3:53 PM :  To: discussion@acfug.org :  Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Development vs Production Application.cfm and other :  things... :    : Hi, :   :    :   : Just wondering if anyone can share there Development vs Production :  Application.cfm or .cfc techniques.
