I am new to ColdFusion and I am having trouble understanding what is the Difference between onApplicationStart method and onRequestStart method other than the Scope. For Example what does it mean by Application? First time a user comes to your site? Does it only run once? I tried to set a Variable in the onApplicationStart method like <cfset APPLICATION.ds="myDataSource"/> and I get an Error when I say use it in index.cfm. Am i allowed to use this outside in other files Or anything that gets set in onApplicationStart gets passed to onApplicationEnd and thats where the variable get used? Thanks.
