Out of curiosity, is this thing by design or an oversight? Thks.

The primary one is that you can't set variables in the page's
variables scope without using onRequest, which breaks remote calls.
You can use the request scope from onRequestStart, of course, but
there are different semantics for that (like being shared across
CFCs/custom tags). Less troubling, but still annoying, is that the
property names used to configure the application are not enforced at
all, so a typo there can be very difficult to track down.
Of course, with Application.cfm you can't have per-application
mappings or session events and you have to manage your application
startup manually, but I do the last with Application.cfc so I don't
have to cycle CF all the time.

Barney,
I would be interested in knowing what are the weaknesses in Application.cfc
based on your expertise.
Thanks

This question has been tossed around a few lists lately. I have not
verified, but from what I understand as long as you have the same
application name within the application.cfc and application.cfm files, then
you should be ok.

As long as you use the same application name, the application has no
awareness of an Application.cfm/cfc distinction. Only the
Application.* file itself is different. Both have strengths and
weaknesses.

This is not a question about the structure of an Application.cfc, I've got that
down. No problem.
This is about taking a bunch of apps that use the same application scope but
different Application.cfm files, and converting them one by one to
Application.cfc.
All of these have the same Application scope of "MyApp" so the user only has to
log into one app, and they are thus logged into them all.
tools/calc/Application.cfm
tools/time/Application.cfm
apps/funstuff/Application.cfm
Now, my question is...what happens if I change one those to use Application.cfc
and leave the others at Application.cfm. Am I asking for a world of hurt and
hidden consequences? or will everything play nicely together. I would still have
to worry about values being overwritten and other enjoyable bugs like that. :)
Thanks in advance.
