Default Variables and Constants  
 
 

It is often useful to set default variables and application-level constants in the Application.cfm file. For example you may want to designate:

  • A data source you're using
  • A domain name
  • Style settings such as fonts or colors
  • Other important application-level variables
 
 
  Example: Application.cfm  
 

The following example shows a complete Application.cfm file for the sample Products application:

<!--- Set application name and enable client 
variables option, with client variables stored in 
a data source called mycompany --->

<CFAPPLICATION NAME="Products"
    CLIENTMANAGEMENT="Yes"
    CLIENTSTORAGE="mycompany">

<!--- Install custom error pages --->

<CFERROR TYPE="REQUEST"
    TEMPLATE="RequestErr.cfm"
    MAILTO="admin@company.com">

<CFERROR TYPE="VALIDATION" 
    TEMPLATE="ValidationErr.cfm">

<!--- Set application constants --->

<CFSET HomePage="http://www.mycompany.com">
<CFSET PrimaryDataSource="CompanyDB">
