If you want to reinitialize the utilities object, say to upgrade it to a new version or to read some new config, you can just do this:
<cflock ...> <cfset StructDelete(Application, "Utilities")> </cflock> The next request will then recreate it. Meantime, any running threads will remain unperturbed because they have their own reference to the old object in their request scopes. Once those threads complete, the old object will be garbage collected.

I've read a few blog entries about storing general utility components in the application scope so they can accessed anywhere within the application. <cfif NOT isDefined("application.Utilities")> <cflock scope="application" type="exclusive" timeout="10"> <cfif NOT isDefined("application.Utilities")> <cfset application.Utilities = createObject("component", "Utilities")> </cfif> </cflock> </cfif> <cflock ...> <cfset Request.Utilities = application.Utilities> </cflock> It makes sense to instantiate the component once and store it in the application scope, but 1) why copy it back into the Request scope ? So it will be available to custom tags? 2) Why is it necessary to use a lock when copying the component into the request scope? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- No need to miss a message.
