Does not make sense to have global handler for onRequestStart. A real world use case will help to understand the requirement better, if someone can share one.

Closing this.We can evaluate this again if there are other valid use-cases.

My main use case for this was to allow you to add security rules that will apply to all applications on the server (even those in /CFIDE). Specifically this would allow you to deploy something like FuseGuard on the entire server very easily. For example if you had Fuseguard protecting /CFIDE it would have caught many of the vulnerabilities that have been patched previously.

Actually, change my vote to a +1 please. Pete's use case is eminently sensible.

+1 - Pete's comment on 8:57:39 AM GMT+00:00 Dec 5, 2014 is a valid use case. Please reconsider. Additionally, this would help us filter out duplicate requests originating from CF's IIS connector (please see my last paragraph in #CF-4028272's description).

Just wanted to note another thing I’d use a server-wide onRequestStart for: server-wide analytics/reports of requests. Ex: For creating a report showing %-difference of incoming traffic that App1 and App2 received in Q3 of last year. Ex: For creating a report showing which app on the server showed the highest gain in unique visitors last year. Kinda like a DIY Google Analytics, but note I’m saying "app", not site. Basically to generate reports using data that only CF knows about, w/o placing code in each app on the server. Thanks!, -Aaron

Just wondering... if there's a use case for a global onRequestStart(), is there not the same use case (or variation thereof) for all the other application lifecycles to have global handlers too?

Right, so can we get this looked at again please?

Yes, lets get this looked at again - my use case would still be really useful for me and a lot of my customers

I guess this is the thing that Vamsee might not be seeing Pete: you'er not one individual, you represent *a lot* of ColdFusion installs around the place.

Hi Vamsee, You said this can be evaluated again if there are other valid use-cases. Other valid use-cases were added in the comments. Also this is needed for a workaround to CF-4028272 (CF duplicates IIS requests). Can this ticket please be re-opened for evaluation? Thanks!, -Aaron

Thanks for pitching in with the use-cases. While we will not be able to consider this for the Raijin release, we can definitely evaluate it for the release after Raijin, hence, re-opening this.

Do you think, Vamseekrishna, had you actually bothered to review the ticket a year ago when Peter clarified his position, you might not be needing to defer this until ColdFusion 13?
