Nice trick on xmlParse. You don't Get variables into a CFC, that is a SET. You get from a CFC. I SET some of the application variables in each of my CFC's, rather then referencing an application variable in the CFC's. This is to create fully encapsulated objects (no outside references).
I also don't loop through the XML to load into separate application variables. I just refer directly to the application.xml message. Saves steps and only causes a few lines to be a bit longer.

Ray tipped me off to a new feature of XMLParse() in mx7 which lets you use filenames and url's, so you can eliminate the whole cffile read, like this: <!--- Create a new CF XML document object---> <cfset thevalues = XMLparse(ExpandPath("config.xml"))> And what's mixing me up is the need to *get* the variables into a cfc. If you loop thru and save all your xml to application variables, they're ready to use in a cfc. This doesn't look like good cfc practice, but it works. If I create a cfc using this, it returns the correct value. I never passed anything to it. <cfcomponent> <cffunction name="myFunction" access="public" returntype="string"> <cfset myResult = APPLICATION.DSN> <cfreturn myResult> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> Will ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
