Application.cfc not compiling

Question

My application.cfc not compiling. I'm using application.cfc
first time, i'm used to using application.cfm, but now trying to
switch.
I've attached the code. Application.cfc is not being executed
for some reason.
My environment:
win2008
cf8
iis7
Thank you,
Syed

OK, thanks clarifying that.
Application.cfc will only be listed in the debugging if
there's an event
handler to be run; if you don't have an onRequestStart
handler, it won't be
running anything _every request_.
I suspect you - and jbird5k - have both added code to your
onApplicationStart event handler after the application had
already started.
The onApplicationStart event handler is only run ONCE during
the life of
the application (IE: when it's first hit after the CF service
starts).
For changes to onApplicationStart to be run, you need to
restart your
application.
I think it was BKBK who suggested that the quickest way to do
this is to
change the name of the application - temporarily - so that CF
thinks it's a
different application. Or just restarting CF.
It might be an idea to add an onRequestStart event handler
which checks for
a restartApp URL variable, and if found and if true, re-run
onApplicationStart(). This means less monkeying with your
code or CF to
get the app to restart.
