because I need coldfusion to realize that the application name is this. Its for my use, as much as it is variable management, to segregate the application scope variables in the different environments.

Why not try application.applicationName instead, it is confusing but application scope applies in the onApplicationStart. HTH Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

But now I am getting into it and noticing something that strikes me as strange. In the pseudo-constructor, you set this.name, which is the application name correct? Well we have different environments here, like DEV, QA and PROD and the code decides what environment it is in based on what port it is running in. So for instance, my development port is 8005, so the code knows what environment it is in and sets several different variables, such as mappings and such based on that, and we also set the application name based on that. So if the application is appName the production application name would be appName_prod, and development is appName_dev. So I was doing a switch statement over the cgi.SERVER_PORT inside of onApplicationStart() to determine how to name the application and was setting this.name to it. It doesn't throw an error, but it is not setting this.name correctly either. Can you not change the value of the this scope variables outside of the pseudo constructor? -- Ryan Guill A Deep Blue [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ryanguill.com (270) 217.2399 got google talk?
