Extending application.cfc in a subdirectory

Question

I have the following two files and would like the second to extend the first:

1. wwwroot\\site\\application.cfc
2. wwwroot\\site\\dir\\application.cfc

Answer 1

Sean Corfield has a blog entry explaining how to extend a root Application.cfc.

Below is the relevant information copied from that entry.

Here's your root CFC /Application.cfc:

Here's your proxy CFC /ApplicationProxy.cfc:

It's completely empty and serves merely to create an alias for your root /Application.cfc. Here's your subdirectory CFC /app/Application.cfc:

    
        
app.Application.onSessionStart()
        
    

    
        
app.Application.onRequestStart()

The root of each individual site should have its own Master App:

/site1/Application.cfc
/site2/Application.cfc
/site3/Application.cfc

All these applications are separate individual apps with nothing shared between them.

If any of these individual sites need to have sub-applications, then there should be ApplicationProxy.cfc alonside the Master,

e.g.
/site1/ApplicationProxy.cfc
/site2/ApplicationProxy.cfc

Then, for each sub-application you have the one that extends the proxy:

e.g.
/site1/subA/Application.cfc
/site1/subB/Application.cfc
/site2/subA/Application.cfc
