  Web.config similar to application.cfc (or application.cfm)

  Jun 26, 2006 12:14 AM|LINK

  Is the Web.config similar to the application.cfm (or application.cfc)? Does it cascade itself like the application.cfm file?

  Similar yes but it is strictly used to house settings for your application/virtual directory.  IIRC, ColdFusion will search down 6-7 directories searching for an application.cfm file.  .NET will do the same (not sure how many dirs deep) but uses an implecit approach in 'stacking' the settings.
  
  Take a look at the global.asax file and its events.  That is a closer match to application.cfm in that it contains some handy events such as Session_Start, Application_BeginRequest... etc.
