When you run your Coldfusion App using Application.cfc with an onRequest() method, you’ll soon discover that your web services no longer function.

In my mind this is a bug in CF, but be that as it may, here’s how you get arround it:

Inside your onRequestStart method, add the following lines.

        <!— Define arguments. —>
        <cfargument name=”TargetPage” type=”string” required=”true” />
        <!— Open Webservices —>
        <cfif REFindNoCase( “.cfc$”, ARGUMENTS.TargetPage )>
            <!— Since this is a web service call, we need to get rid of the OnRequest() event method.—>
            <cfset StructDelete( VARIABLES, “OnRequest” ) />
            <cfset StructDelete( THIS, “OnRequest” ) />
        </cfif>
