Cffunction scope in application.cfm?

No special declarations or references are needed. Calling the function on any page within the scope of the application file should work.

To verify this yourself, do the following test. Create a directory and place the files Application.cfm and testPage.cfm in it.

Application.cfm

<cfapplication name="cftest"

    sessionmanagement="Yes"

    setclientcookies="Yes"

    sessiontimeout="#createTimeSpan(0,0,60,0)#"

    applicationtimeout="#createTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)#">

    <cffunction name="f" returntype="string" >

        <cfreturn "This string is the result of a function call in Application.cfm">

    </cffunction>

testPage.cfm

<cfoutput>#f()#</cfoutput>

Now, run the test page. I expect the string to be output. My guess is that it failed in your case because you named your file application.cfm instead of Application.cfm.
