"Application-level data"

As I recall, in Java Servlets, there data can be cached at four levels based
on life-span.  Page, Request, Session and Application.  The latter being
shared amongst all sessions (i.e., essentially a singleton).

Is there any such concept as the Application cache directly supported in
Rails, or is it a case of using a global (ugh) variable?
