Using Application Variables
So far in this chapter, you have seen how ColdFusion’s Web application framework features help you maintain a consistent look and feel throughout your application. You’ve also seen how easy it is to set up “before and after” processing with the special Application.cfc component and the onRequestStart and onRequestEnd methods. In other words, your pages are starting to look and behave cohesively.
