The This scope for the Application.cfc contains several built-in variables which correspond to the attributes that you set in the cfapplication tag. You set the values of these variables in the CFC initialization code, before you define the CFC methods. You can access the variables in any method.
The following table briefly describes the variables that you can set to control the application behavior. For more details, see the cfapplication tag.
