Scott, I will also but my hand up and ask if there is any performance difference in setting for each request to one checking if it exists for an entire application. Might I also add that I would have thought that in the application scope on a high traffic site would mean using less memory as well!

That being said, i don't want to roll that information per request as the configObject pretty much has the global crap inside it..and yes i'm going to bring out that OO bible and preech thine singleton to thee. As I use xml to define some settings at times - what can i say, i have a chubby for a mach-ii sytle approach in development - its rapid so back off man. Depends on the app in the end, my option can be long winded for a really small app that has like zero need for a complex solution like the above. hmm as for seans why not use request in the end... good question. In that do you get any real gains by using CFIF StructKeyExists(application,"keyToSettings") THEN initialize vars... vs just rolling them inside request vars? if they are simple? I've noticed that a lot and now that he brings it out to air, i wonder ...*in a deep pondering voice* hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
