Jeff, if that doesn't work for you (or you're not on Enterprise), note that when you install, if it has CF7 on it already, CF8 will offer to migrate the old settings into CF8 (and yes, this is even if you choose to install 7 side-by-side, keeping the 7 install on the machine, which might be

Going back to this note from last week, I hear your pain, Clint, about how some java-based tools can leave one hanging if not familiar with its ins and outs. Shame on the vendor for leaving you to figure this out, let alone then have to write it up yourself to show people how to use their tool.

Max, it works just like application.cfm, so if there was only one in a root dir, that should apply to all subdirs. But I say, *should*, because if there is an application.cfm in a directory, that will create a new application scope for that directory and its subdirectories. And since session vars

Just to clarify, this isn't something you can do at the application level in CF8. I was under the impression myself for a while that we could do pretty much everything at the app level now, but it's just mappings and custom tag paths. Perhaps in a later release. :-) So, no, the J2EE sessions
