Hi, To answer your second question, the use of Application.cfm in the traditional way, for setting global variables, is discouraged because it gets executed *before* the core file, and also because it is ColdFusion specific, making it harder to port apps to other platforms. But I can't see any reason not to use Application.cfm to prevent direct access to fuses - in fact I can't think of any other way to do it in CF (someone else will probably prove me wrong here).
