Subject: [ cf-dev ] Config best practice


I was having a chat with a colleague yesterday about whether we should be
storing our configuration variables in a cfm file which is included in
Application.cfm and stored in the db and cache the query call from
Application.cfm.
 
My gut feeling is to follow Sean Corfield's best practices recommendation: 
http://www.corfield.org/coldfusion/codingStandards.htm#Anchor34
 
ie use the included file with variables set in the request scope. However,
the application we're working on currently uses something in the region of
100-200 application scoped variables. We're looking to transfer all those
into either the request scope or a cached recordset so as to avoid locking.
The cached recordset would probably provide better performance but is it
good practice?
 
The app currently supports CF4.5+ though we're hoping to move it out of the
dark ages soon if we can put a strong enough case to our clients to move to
CFMX.
 
I was just wondering what people are doing with their global variables. What
do you recommend?
 
Cheers Doug
