title: How to set a server-wide variable in ColdFusion
body: <p>I have to maintain a variable in my Application.(cfm|cfc) to set the environment which the application currently runs under, the environment being (development|test|production).</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to set an environment variable on the server itself, so that I can read its value in the Application.cfm.</p>
  
  <p>Is that possible?</p>
