You should just have the below. You don't shouldn't set a return type.

function onApplicationStart() {
    // your code here
       return true;
}

Where is your return value ?

This function requires a true or false return.

Participant

I am not changing the return value this is coming from application.cfc

What I mean is where is that part of the code. This function should looks something like this:

public boolean function onApplicationStart(){
     application.bidvalue = 1;
     //other stuff
     return true;
}
