Sharing session between applications: error when renaming in application.cfc (ColdBox 4, ACF 2016)

[daltec]

Hello all, I wish to share session data between some apps that reside on different subdomains. In the past I would make sure each application's application.cfc had the same app name, and this has been working for a while. These are legacy apps and do not use ColdBox.

I set up ColdBox 4 running on ACF 2016 on my dev machine, and changing the application name from the default "this.name = hash( getCurrentTemplatePath() );" to "this.name = 'mysite;" works fine. However, when I upload the same code to production (also ACF 2016), I get the following error:

Element CBBOOTSTRAP is undefined in a Java object of type class [Ljava.lang.String;. 

The error occurred in application.cfc: line 50

48 : 	public boolean function onRequestStart( string targetPage ){
49 : 		// Process ColdBox Request
50 : 		application.cbBootstrap.onRequestStart( arguments.targetPage );
51 : 
52 : 		return true;

Changing the application name back to "this.name = hash( getCurrentTemplatePath() );" means the app runs fine (but session is not shared).

Any clues? I've read several posts that deal with this general issue, but none that directly address this particular error. I am not using any mappings or anything -- everything is 
right there in the webroot (changing that is a topic for another day!).

In case it helps, here is my production server:

Server Details
Server Product	ColdFusion
Version	2016,0,03,300466
Edition	Enterprise
Operating System	Windows Server 2012 R2
OS Version	6.3
Update Level	/C:/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/lib/updates/chf20160003.jar
Adobe Driver Version	5.1.4 (Build 0001)
Tomcat Version	8.0.32.0

JVM Details

Java Version 1.8.0_72   Java Vendor Oracle Corporation   Java Vendor URL http://java.oracle.com/   Java Home C:\ColdFusion2016\jre   Java File Encoding Cp1252   Java Default Locale en_US

And on dev, it's ACF 2016,0,06,308055 on OS X 10.12.6. My JVM is 1.8.0_25. I'd appreciate any help at all! I have tried changing several lines of code, but I keep getting that same error and it all seems to stem from changing the application name from the default.

Thanks in advance!!

Try running applicationStop().  I assume what's happened is you've changed the app name midstream and lost your old application scope without running the onApplicationStart() to put everything back.

Thanks!

Thanks Brad! I restarted ColdFusion itself and am still getting the same error. I've also reinited the app via the URL several times. Is there something else I need to be doing? Thanks, I appreciate the help!

Just to follow on, I  have not done any "installation" or anything on our production server -- I just copied the whole shooting match from dev up to the repository, and from there to production. The entire coldbox structure was copied and is in webroot, but is there perhaps something I may have missed? I am just at a loss as to why it would work on one server, but totally fail on another, when all I am doing is just trying to change the application name.

Thanks a lot!
