Is onapplicationstart returning true? If it doesn't return true then it will continue to execute as you've described. Then again.. I could be wrong :) On 4/23/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your quick reply Andrew. I am unsure of how these certain conditions are

Request scope variables only exist for the duration of a page request. They don't consume RAM like Application variables do. And are ideal for what you are using Application vars for. Best defined in Application.cfm as it is executed before all other templates: eg: cfsilent cfapplication

Would it be better to have these variables in the application scope over the request scope as they should exist for the entire application rather than single page request? This beginning to confuse me even more On Apr 23, 6:53 pm, Peter Tilbrook [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Request scope

No point. In fact an unnecessary overhead. Once the request is finished they are no longer required. Another page request - they are used - then zip. No locking or anything required. Application vars have their place but for - at least how I use them - like datasourcenames and such - Request

I'd either put it in your application scope or cache ya query. if it's going to be available for every user all the time then application shouldn't be a problem if the site's busy and ya setting it to request each page request for each user then it would be using a lot of memory although the

I agree with M@, things that are going to be constant and apply across the board to the entire application I would stick in the Application scope. Why the hell Peter does this in the request scope is beyond reasoning to me. There is very little need to use the request scope, unless you want a way

Dude, to answer you original question, which is what the hell is the request scope? (if I understand you well): the request scope gives you access to the whole HTTP request entity. So you can see it as one round-trip to the server. If inside a template, you have a cfmodule, or a cf_whatever, a

Request scope is less important now that it used to be. In the days up to CF5.2, locking was a huge issue whenever you tried to read the application scope so it was a matter of routine that for each page request, you copied all the applicatoin variables into the request scope and used them

The important thing to realise is how long each of these scopes last, and where they can be seen. Server scope is available to every page on the server, regardless of application name specified. Their timeout is defined in your Cf administrator, and typically last for a few days. Put things in
