add Application.cfc and application level javascript

Thanks for your response. I guess I didn't post my question the right way but your reponse helped define it. Here is my expanded question.

As shown below, calling page2 can be done in 3 different ways. Our objective is to allow all 3 ways on some pages, but limit to a Form.Submit on others. We have found a lot of errors occurring due to Cyber Attack and search bots hitting our pages (Page2) directly.

The solution I am working on would require a call to a function (checkifValidCall()) to check if we want them to continue or to abort from an Application level. The check first checks to see if we want to check by setting parameter CheckCall=1. If set then the CheckIfValidCall() checks checks if Form.submit is defined. If it is then it returns and processing continues. If not then abort.

Page 1:

Href ”Page2 url?...”

                Or

URL typed in search bar

                Or

Form.submit

Page 2:

                Set CheckCall = 1    if page is to be checked

                Call checkIfValidCall() – this needs to be accomplished at Application level

Application Level:

                checkIfValidCall()

• If CheckCall is defined then
  • If form.submit is defined
    • Continue
  • Else
    • Log and abort
  • Else
    • Continue

All this works if the functions are in an include file but I would like to move the code to the application level and can’t seem to get it to work.

Bottom line is it needs to set a parameter and then have the code run. I looked at onrequeststart but it happens before I can set a parameter on the page. Any suggestions would be helpful.
