960 Chapter 5: Application.CFC Reference

• You must use the ApplicationScope parameter to access the Application scope. You cannot

reference the Application scope directly; for example, use

Arguments.ApplicationScope.myVariable, not Application.myVariable. Use a named lock

when you reference variables in the Application scope, as shown in the example.

• You can access the Server scope directly; for example, Server.myVariable.

• You cannot access the Request scope.

Sessions do not end, and the

onSessionEnd method is not called when an application ends. The

onSessionEnd does not execute if there is no active application, however.

Example

The following method decrements an Application scope session count variable and logs the

session length.

<cfset var sessionLength = TimeFormat(Now() - SessionScope.started,

"H:mm:ss")>

</cflock>

<cflog file="#This.Name#" type="Information"

text="Session #Arguments.SessionScope.sessionid# ended. Length:

#sessionLength# Active sessions: #Arguments.AppScope.sessions#>

</cffunction>
