CFApplication doesn't have an end tag. Just put it at the top of your
Application.cfm page, setting the attributes you want/need to set.
Then on your Application.cfm page, set your global variables.
You should scope your variables.
I use the request scope ... <cfset request.myDSN="datasource">
If you use the application scope (cfset application.myDSN="data">), you need
to lock your write and read of these variables (I'm not using CFMX yet, but
I don't think you need to lock them in CFMX). (learn up on CFLOCK, if
necessary).
Last thing you need to know is that if you're setting a lot of global
variables, it's best to use CFSCRIPT
<cfscript>
request.myDSN='datasource';
request.myEmail='[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
</cfscrpt>
