I have my own answer to this question, which I’ll post, but I wanted to see if I missed a simpler way. I have two application’s running on the same coldfusion server, and I want to access the application scope of one from the other. How might I do this?
UPDATE:
After Reading @Daniel and @Ben’s answers, I went back and approached my problem from the standpoint of sub-applications which turned out to be a better solution to my initial problem. My answer is still the “quick and dirty” way to access other application scopes, but putting data in the server scope is a better practice.
I think you should probably think about why it is that you want to do this… Architecturally this doesn’t seem very sound, even if it is possible. The Server scope would be better for resources that you want to share across applications.
You might even want to consider whether the two applications should actually be one single application with two small sub-applications.
