>> Funny, I got the impression there was a onServerStart and onServerEnd methods in the Application.cfc file
Nah, I wish. First thing I looked for when I heard about "events" in "Application.cfc". I've been used to the simple ones (application, session) since ASP classic and the global.asa (for those who know wot i mean..) If you think about it, it may be tricky to work out when the server is starting or stopping because (IMHO) it means hooking into the OS (and if somone trips over the server power cord, will the onServerEnd fire? doubtful...) let me fly a flag for onServerStart, onServerEnd anyhoo. And just as an aside, ASP.NET has a list of events that far surpass the Application.cfc. (but still no "Server_Start") Application_Start Application_Init Application_BeginRequest Application_AuthenticateRequest Application_AuthorizeRequest Application_ResolveRequestCache Application_AcquireRequestState Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute Application_PreSendRequestHeaders Application_PreSendRequestContent Application_(actual processing) Application_Error Session_Start Session_End Application_PostRequestHandlerExecute Application_ReleaseRequestState Application_UpdateRequestCache Application_EndRequest Application_Disposed Application_End but as Sean Corfield and others have pointed out, most of these are just simple API's into something you can do with the loading of the CF page, HTTP output or page load - smoke and mirrors. but server events? that's harder (it seems) what do people think about the bodgy shedualed task idea? (a "run once" task set to the distant past that calls the first page) thanx barry.b -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Velevitch Sent: Friday, 3 June 2005 4:47 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: "bootstrapping" or "onServerStart" Funny, I got the impression there was a onServerStart and onServerEnd methods in the Application.cfc file, but I looked at the documentation, there wasn't any references to methods like that. From the discussion so far and in previous discussions prior to 7 be released, this is a hot issue and something like that would be ideal.
