Access "Application" object in ASP.Net MVC to store application wide variables

Question

How do I store a variable or object application wide in ASP.net MVC?

In regular ASP, you had the Application object and in ASP.net too apparently.

I'm using ASP.net MVC 2.

In a controller you should be able to do this:

this.HttpContext.Application["foo"] = "bar";

For testability I'd be inclined to interface out this call to remove the dependency on HttpContext within the controller.

ASP.NET MVC relies on ASP.NET. so you can use almost any ASP.NET Feature.

Beware for race conditions, you should hold a lock while reading or writing such global state. Multiple requests can be handled concurrently by different threads.
