With the example I have provided I would like for the index.cfm to display hello
How can I do this?

Application.cfc

<cfcomponent>
    <cfset this.sessionManagement = true /> 

    <cffunction name="onSessionStart">
        <cfset SESSION.myVar = "hello">
    </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

index.cfm

<html>
    <head>

    <title>Testing</title>

    </head>

    <body>
        <cfoutput>#SESSION.myVar#</cfoutput>
    </body>
</html>

I have discovered that when I add 

<cfinvoke component="Application" method="onSessionStart">

to the index.cfm it works, however all the variable gets overridden every time the page is refreshed.

    You need to give your application a name, eg:

    <cfset this.name = "foo">

    In your Application.cfc pseudo-constructor. Otherwise CF can’t create an application, and so it cannot associate the session with the application.
