The snippet needs to be recreated when the application reinitializes,
so that any new configuration values are in the new config bean when
the snippet gets parsed. I guess I was hoping for something like:
<bean id="EnvironmentService"
class="environmentConfig.models.EnvironmentService">
<method_to_execute name="configureEnvironment">
<arg name="sECDefinitionFilePath">
<value>/config/environment.xml.cfm</value>
</arg>
</method_to_execute>
</bean>
denstar raises a good point about being able to manage error settings
and the like for the MG framework itself if EC is invoked in
Application.cfc.
