Application Object Or Variable!

[Arpan]

The following code exists in a Global.asa file:

----------------------------------------------
<%
Set Application("Thing")=Server.CreateObject("THINGDOER.THINGY")
%>
----------------------------------------------

Will the above code snippet


create a non-object Application variable named "Thing" & place it in
the Contents collection of the Application object?

-----OR------

create an Application object named "Thing" & place it in the
StaticObjects collection of the Application object?

Thanks,

Arpan

It will create an application variable and set it to an object. This is not
considered wise unless the object is designed specifically for a
multi-threaded environment.

If you want the object in the staticobjects collection you will need to use
an <object> tag in global.asa to create it (again, make sure it is designed
for this)>

<object id="thing" progid="THINGDOER.THINGY" runat="Server"
scope="Application"></object>
