You can always set a cfc property to be
the dsn and give it a default.
<cfcomponent>
<cfset
variables.dsn = “” />
<cffunction
name=”init”>
<cfargument
name=”dsn” type=”string” required=”no”
default=”myDefaultDSN” />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
That way you can either specify it when
invoking your object or let it use a default value.

application.cfm and cfc's
all makes sense, and it
doesnt matter on a windows box :) (the capital A, that is), but
i can verify that the cfc
isnt picking up variables that i have declared in my application.cfm file
is this expected behaviour?

application.cfm and cfc's
You can try using an
"application" scoped variable... but community opinion (which is
always right ... correct, so we jump to another community if to become right...
anyway) community opinion is that encasulation would keep a CFC ignorant about
it's environment. It only knows what you tell it. So, you should pass the
information into the cfc... or tell the cfc where to look the information up at
least. (like in an include file.)
The only time this becomes an issue
is with Web Services or Flash Remoting. Then you are calling the CFCs
externally, and then you may want to use the Application.cfm file for
declaration, but the include file leans more towards the concept of
encapsulation. (Also, if you are on linux... don't know if this is still an
issue, but the Application.cfm required a capital 'A' according to older docs.
Don't have a linux server running CF... can't tell you. That could cause
someone to not get the Application.cfm file to be called though, if it wasn't
case correct.)

now, does the
Application.cfm file get processed before cfc's get processed.

my site wide dsn's established in there.
