BoxLang Application Descriptor

Overview

Application.bx is BoxLang's application descriptor. It defines application-level settings and lifecycle callbacks, and it is the cornerstone for running multiple isolated applications in one BoxLang server/runtime.

Use this skill whenever the question involves:

  • app bootstrapping and lifecycle events
  • per-app configuration in this.*
  • nested apps and scope isolation
  • app-scoped schedulers and watchers
  • differences between runtime config (boxlang.json) and app config (Application.bx)
