		<!--- Clear the application scope. --->
		<cfset StructClear( APPLICATION ) />
 
		<!---
			Create the array to store contacts. We are going
			to keep this demo as simple as possible and so,
			the contacts will be just an array or structs.

		<cfset APPLICATION.Contacts = [] />
 
		<!--- Return true so the page will keep loading. --->
