Application.cfc cached.

[Guest]

hi,
As I was writing on another post on this forum regarding my new project deployment, I have a another problem with my Application.CFC, in my project I share some global variables and document paths across the application through Application.cfc variables. but the problem is I mistakenly ran the project with my local settings which is not valid on live server, then the those setting got cached on the server. now even I uploaded the correct Application.cfc with correct settings it's still running on previous wrong settings.. what can I do about this, same happen to my local dev server but when I restart the CF service from my services console, new changes get effected immediately my live server is runs on Linux Apache server.

they are not cached. it is just that onApplicationStart() method is only
executed when the application starts the first time after server
restart/application timeout. so no matter how many time you overwrite
your Aplication.cfc file with a new version, the onApplicationStart
method will not execute until you restart the server or call the method
programmatically:

instead of restarting cf server, create a .cfm file with this in it:
<cfscript>onApplicationStart();</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#application#">

upload the file to your server and call it up in your browser.

***delete the file from server after you are done with it!!!***

ok updates on the situation.. I guess it's not a problem with the Applicaion.CFC I think It's my templates, they are cached with the invalid urls and settings.. now my requirement it to clear that cache without getting into admin panel. is there anyway I can do that..?

ok Azadi, may be I was too exited and didn't see your post b4 I post my comments.. your solution worked out.. nice.. but for some reason your code didn't work as it is.. it was complaining that onApplicationStart(); is undefined, so I did a small tweak to your code..

quote:

---

<cfscript>
App=createObject('component','Application');
App.onApplicationStart();
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#application#">

good job!

yes, i just realized that the code i posted is from onRequestStart() in
my Application.cfc (sans the <cfdump> part), and that's why it works as
is without creating an object...
