Hey all, Just wondering how in CFMX people are managing their application level constants these days? By constants I mean things like DSN, database login details etc, in the Application.cfm file.
Peeking around the net I've found references to: <CFSET application.dsn = "blah"> with and without locking. Do this only when needed, and it avoids setting variables on every request. OR <CFSET request.dsn = "blah"> This avoids any locking issues (but IS this still an issue?), but to me it looks like there's an overhead on every page call in setting these variables. OR Doing it at a session level. OR Some sort of 'constants' structure so there's only 1 application variable, and you reference nodes within that to get the values. What's the best practice in this case? ----------------------- Ryan Sabir Newgency Pty Ltd 2a Broughton St Paddington 2021 Sydney, Australia Ph (02) 9331 2133 Fax (02) 9331 5199 Mobile: 0411 512 454 http://www.newgency.com/index.cfm?referer=rysig --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
