Use this method for application initialization code; for example, use it to set Application scope variables, to determine whether a required data source or other resource is available, or to log the application start. You do not have to lock the Application scope if you set Application variables in this method, and you can reference Application scope variables as you normally do; for example, as Application.myVariable. Same goes for the session according to the docs.
