Is necessary to mention that the search for Application.cfm file is not restrict to the WebServer root but to the system files root. Which means: if you have a website configured at: "D:\websites\site1" the CFServer will look for Application.cfm till it reaches the D: root, independently on your webserver's configuration.

When your child circuits do not have an application.cfm CF will traverse through the directories and use the the one at the top level.

Also, say that there is NO application.cfm in webroot/parent/child/ but there IS in webroot/parent/. It seems that any request to a page in webroot/parent/child/ will "reach up" and run application.cfm in the webroot/parent/ directory. When I put an application.cfm in webroot/parent/child/, this no longer happened. > > Is this a known "feature" of ColdFusion? I've never read about it, and > never noticed it happen.
