Another newbie question to provide a little light diversion from interfaces and method overloading...
My application uses only one DSN, and I'd like to set it in one place. I'm cfincluding two files in onRequest(): server_config.cfm, which sets server/environment variables, and app_config.cfm, which sets application-specific variables; both set variables in Request scope. It would seem that one of these includes would be the place to set the DSN, i.e., <cfset Request.DSN = "myDSN">. However, in onApplicationStart() and onSessionStart() I'm instantiating components that take the DSN as an argument to their init() methods. If I understand the sequence that Application.cfc methods are executed, onApplicationStart() and onSessionStart() won't have access to variables set in onRequest(). So if I want to set the DSN in only one place, where is the best place to do it? It's probably obvious (and there's probably a better way to architect the whole app to avoid this, but...), but I'm still getting my mind around this OO stuff.
