Thanks much Deanna! This indeed helps a lot. I'll be working on it tonight.

The advantage of an object is that we have multiple applications that all
use this data. By putting it in an object, we can use the same data over
multiple objects, and more importantly, we can store the default data
outside the web root.
We certainly have a lot of code out there that does what

whether you read mydsn etc. from an init file, from XML, or maybe derive it

You can also have a settings CFC that's accessible to both apps. You can

to be overwritten on initialization and then require an instance of the

Im not sure what your questions/problems are? I have used an xml
config file for a while now and its not difficult. Are you asking how
to work with xml or is it more of an architecture question?
If you have one set of datasources and other resources that multiple
sites and systems will be using,

Umm, we are still use ini rather than xml files but the overall
architecture is much the same. A lot of our sites use code that dates
back to CF 5 or even 4
Can we please get some more input on this topic guys? I'd just like to know how
some of you handle these things.
Thanks,

Dave,
I have just started to use XML for file settings, so take this as a bigger's
stab.
I have about 80 lines in my application.cfc that sets things like file
locations, menus, security context, etc. I am in the process of moving them
into XML files
