Re: Problems with switching from application.cfm to application.c fc
Richard, You may want to check out the documentation on application.cfc before going any further...

RE: Problems with switching from application.cfm to application.c fc
However, in our current application.cfm file we had defined 20 or so variables that were not scoped (eg. xcachepath=/cache. In application.cfc, these variables evidently need to be scoped (eg. request.xcachepath=/cache. This is a huge website and the thought of searching and replacing these variables and then uploading each one of thousands of files to our production server is daunting and could take many days of work. You can automate the search and replace of those variables, obviously. Alternatively, you could place the variables in the local page scope by adding an onRequest event handler: cffunction name=onRequest ... cfargument name=targetPage cfset xcachepath = /cache ... cfinclude template=#Arguments.targetPage# ... /cffunction Of course, if you do this, you would break any CFC URLs that involve web services or Flash remoting. But on the other hand, you could go back and add equivalent Request-scoped variables at your leisure, then remove this when you're done. If there is no work around to the above problem, can the missing template handler be used in the application.cfm? There's a missing template handler setting in the CF Administrator. Other than that, no.

Re: Problems with switching from application.cfm to application.c fc
I like your idea: cffunction name=onRequest ... cfargument name=targetPage cfset xcachepath = /cache ... cfinclude template=#Arguments.targetPage# ... /cffunction However I'm not sure how to implement this. What is the targetpage? Since this is the root application.cfc there are many different index pages that this application.cfc will use. Here's a another example of my stripped down cfc: cfcomponent cffunction name=onRequestStart returnType=boolean output=false CFAPPLICATION NAME=mywebsite SESSIONMANAGEMENT=Yes sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,20,0)# setclientcookies=yes CFSET xServerPath = c:\inetpub\wwwroot\clients\mywebsite\html cfset application.googlekey =ABQIGLygu72xTxPUIqNs3HgaixRGoefddpfKqX6LEQeDUC4B8xTs1enEDprVOV5TidrQOUmVZpW7QA cfsetting showdebugoutput=no CFSET DATASOURCE = mywebsitecom CFSET COMPANYNAME = mywebsite cfset xSSLUrl = https://www.mywebsite.com; cfset xSwitch=1 cfif xSwitch is 1 cfset xPathOrdering =#xSSLUrl#/templates/ cfset xURLPath =#xSSLUrl#/ CFSET xURLHome = #application.XNEWROOT# cfelse cfset xPathOrdering = cfset xURLPath = http://localhost/mywebsite/; /cfif cfset application.xtimedifference=2 cfset simple = 1 cfset xbird=robin cfset application.xbird=robin cfinclude template=templates/codecopyright.cfm CFSET xLiveInventory = StockWeb cfset xCfhttpPath=#application.XNEWROOT# cfset xRelativePath = c:\inetpub\wwwroot\clients\Xservercom\html CFSET xCache = c:\inetpub\wwwroot\clients\mywebsitecom\html\_cache CFSET xRootCache = /_cache cfif xSwitch is 0 cfset aSiteURL=http://localhost/mywebsite; cfelse cfset aSiteURL=#application.XNEWROOT# /cfif ] CFSET aShowAuctions = 1 !--- Used to determine a light grey image border color --- CFSET aBorderColor = Silver !--- Added 8/19/07 For Amazon Rest Statements --- cfset amz_Service =AWSECommerceService cfset amz_AWSAccessKeyId = 1FDX21XKHQ9CAT4X02 cfset amz_Version = 2007-07-16 cfset amz_associateid = xcom-20 cfreturn true /cffunction /cfcomponent ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:309406 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
