Which way do you prefer to initialize your components? Do you use getters/setters on the below? Read from a file, etc?

I use a custom tag that I wrote called <mm:init> which only executes the code inside it the first time it is encountered: <mm:init> // Initialization code here </mm:init> The INIT tag goes in my Application.cfm file, and typically I try to just get away with setting application variables. If I have a lot of configuration data, I will either put it in a database or an XML file which is typically retrieved/parsed inside the init tag in the Application.cfm file.
