title: Simulating Application in WCF
body: <p>In my code I check to see if a file exists and store it in the Application object in asp.net.</p>
  
  <p>Later on I access this boolean to do something in my web service.</p>
  
  <p>Now I want to rewrite my web service in wcf and things are different here.  The application object does not exist.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to do this task:
  On web site application startup record a boolean.
  Pass it to my wcf so it knows about it when it calls a function (without the boolean being part of the method parameters)</p>
