Application and Request Scope Disapearing when accessed from a Coldfusion CFC via CFAjaxProxy
I'm having some strange behaviour in my CFC that is being called via CFAjaxProxy.
I have a page that uses cfajaxproxy to run a sql query.
All the functionallity is correct and it works just fine if I specify the exact datasource name string in the CFC.
The DSN ofcourse should be handled by either #application.myDSN# or #REQUEST.app.myDSN#.
I have tried both the application scope and the request scope but then I get an error message saying:
"myDSN is not defined in Application" and "myDSN is not defiend in REQUEST".
I don't know why it looses these scopes.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

is you cfc in a folder NOT under the folder of Application.cfc/cfm ?
ASKER
Yes it is Not under the same folder in which application.cfm is located.
It is in a different directory which is still under the webroot in a folder called cfcomponents.
That directory has many other cfc's that use the #application.dsn# variable with no problem.

Yes Azadi, you are correct. The other cfc's are not accessed via cfajaxproxy.
Thank you very much for this explaination.
I'm curious about your solution #2. I'm using application.cfm not application.cfc.
Is it possible to extend the .cfm file or do I have to convert it to a .cfc first?
Thanks.

>> Is it possible to extend the .cfm file or do I have to convert it to a .cfc first?
yes, you will have to convert it to Application.cfc in order to be able to extend it.
may be a good idea, since Application.cfc gives you so much more control over your app...
