Multiple Application files?

Question

Can you have more a second one in a sub directory?
/appication.cfm
/members/application.cfm
Can this work as long as you give the session a different
name?

Answer 1

If you are trying to have "application.cfm" files in
subdirectories jdeline is absolutely correct. ColdFusion will only
execute the first one it comes to in the directory tree. But, I
have seen some coders have a root "application.cfm" file, and then
have multiple "_application.cfm" in various subdirectories. The
underscore at the beginning of the file name will put the file at
the top of the list of files in the directory, and ColdFusion will
ignore the file until you execute it. In the root "application.cfm"
you can have some logic code (i.e., a CFIF statement) you can use
to execute the appropriate "_application.cfm" file when you want it
executed. For example, I've seen some coders have their CFIF
statement look for a directory's name in the CGI.SCRIPT_NAME
variable before it executes a CFINCLUDE for the "_application.cfm"
file located in the desired subdirectory.
