I knew there are some issues with using onRequest in your Application.cfc and web services, but I didn't think there were any issues with onRequestStart and ColdFusion 8 SOAP web services.

Today while working on one of my clients web services I started getting the error org.xml.sax.

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why I kept getting this error:

"Element CACHE is undefined in APPPLICATION."

My first thought was that somehow the CACHE variable was being deleted from the application structure, somewhere in the code.
