04/19/2023, 4:46 PMI’m trying to follow this Legacy->Coldbox migration video from @bdw429s from 2020. I have a massive legacy app and getting CB in place will allow me to move to it. However, I’m confused a bit about code that’s already in my Application.cfc. If I have onApplicationStart code there already, do I need to move that to somewhere else (where?), since my Application.cfc is now extending the ColdBox Bootstrap CFC? I previously had an reinit URL setup, but now that I have ColdBox in place I assume I would be using
fwreinitb

04/19/2023, 4:49 PMYou can leave all your logic in onappstart for example (at least, for now), just run it before/after the coldbox bootstrap runs

04/19/2023, 4:50 PMYou can also continue to use both init URLs, or make one trigger the other, etc. That's up to you.

04/19/2023, 4:50 PMIf you want to be able to trigger a ColdBox reinit on a non-coldbox page, just make sure you're calling
