# What is Application.cfm?

When ColdFusion receives a request for an application page, it searches the page's directory for a file named Application.cfm. If one exists, the Application.cfm code is logically included at the beginning of that application page.

If your application runs on a UNIX platform, which is case-sensitive, you must spell Application.cfm with an initial capital letter
