aside from recompiling with some special logic, is there a way to add a callback to lucee to be notified of access to some scope? e.g. "every time

application

is touched, run some callback"

Not unless you are running all application scope access through a facade

figured as such, threw the dice on asking, maybe someone would go "duh add a hooks.json"

I suppose they still could, but I've never heard of such a thing 🙂

And of course one always should be abstracting one's access to shared scopes anyhow 😉 So... make the ApplicationAdapter implement the Observer pattern and yer done.

basically, all code Snicker --Class -> This -> Global --> MyObj[1}

I wrote some stuff on this: https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml--implementing-an-observablescopeadapter-using-the-decorator-pattern-and-observer-pattern.html
