Thanks Ray. I went with the easier method so that updates might be possible. I tossed all galleon application.* settings into application.forums.* and all session.user stuff into session.forums.user
I did the same sort of thing with blogCFC. I renamed application.cfm to blogsettings.cfm and forumsettings.cfm respectively. I include those in onapplicationstart() and stripped out the little request level stuff to onRequestStart(). In the homegrown framework I did a cflogin in the existing login code with galleon settings. When a user is added to the homegrown security, they are also added to the galleon user table and given the base group. I believe this is what you mentioned. It took me all day, but it is up and running well. Thank god for the excellent search and replace in eclipse. And thank you for your code!
