This application I inherited, certain variables are not persisting their values
between onRequestStart and onRequest.
I've been writing to a log file to document the changes. Seems to be happening
just after onRequestStart ends and onRequest begins. Values are being reset. So

Don,
You state that certain variables are being reset so then I assume that others
are maintaining their values? Is there any difference in scope between those
that are maintaining their values and those that are not? Is there a
conditional redirect happening in OnRequestStart?

The whole point of putting variables into the application scope is to cache
them so you don't have to set them on every request.
The reason your variables didn't get set after you added new ones was that
your application had already started; OnApplicationStart doesn't run on
every request.
Err, how is it a 'pseudo-scope? The request scope is a real scope
(don't give it any confidence issues!) just as much as Variables. And
I'll repeat my earlier assertion - that maybe seeing Request.Foo will
help it stand out compared to Variables.goo.

During our site rewrite, we opted to use the request scope over the variables
scope for all view (CFM) pages. We use onRequestStart() to make sure certain
global site variables are available in the request scope.

Right, you can't do that. The variables scope in App.cfc isn't copied
to the template.
Unless you use onRequest. But that has some drawbacks as well.
Why not simply simply use the Request scope?

Hey all,
Im trying to include some code to check for the existence of a
session.variable (session.loggedin)
Is this something that should be dropped into onRequestStart() in the
Application.cfc?
Heres the code
cffunction name=onRequestStart
cfif IsDefined(session.loggedIn
Here's an snippet of my onRequestStart, yeah you can check for session
variables in there..
cfif structkeyexists(session.user,emplid) and
structkeyexists(url,group_id)
cfset qGroups =
application.userGateway.getGroupsForUser(emplid =
session.user.emplid
As Greg says, yes, you can certainly check for the variables in
onRequestStart().
In onSessionStart() (which will fire before onRequestStart), do something
like:
cfset session.loggedIn = false /
Then the variable should always exist (although it would still be good
practice to test for its

How often does the variable need to be updated? OnRequestStart will execute
prior to every page request. If it less frequent than that, I would
recommend putting it in the application start. You can use onRequestStart
to check to see if the variable needs to be updated in the application
scope
