Actually, you can use inheritance to take care of this problem for you, with a base Application.cfc that defines the onApplicationStart and other events you want defined globally, then one or more Application.cfc files that extend this - you would define onRequest in one of these children. This approach is pretty common, in my experience, and is modeled in the official Adobe Advanced ColdFusion 7 courseware. > I think I'm just going to forego using that method anyway, since I > found a few other instances in which the way it intercepts > page requests makes my life harder instead of easier. I'd probably recommend that in general anyway, unless you have a really good use for it. It does make page postprocessing trivially easy, though.
