Application include header question

I hope you're not expecting this code to tell you whether you're in onRequestStart or in onRequestEnd. OnRequestStart and onRequestEnd are methods in Application.cfc. They cannot be accessed using getCurrentTemplatePath().

If you put getCurrentTemplatePath() in OnRequestStart, it will register the path to your Application.cfc file. Your code will then register the value request.xyz = 1 or 2 only if the path to your application file contains "start" or "end". For example,

C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\workspace\render\Application.cfc

C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\startDir\Application.cfc

Why don't you try outputting getCurrentTemplatePath() to find out?
