Brian, I would appreciate it if you would post your solution, once found, to this list. I'm interested if you choose to let CF throw the errors for you, using typed arguments, or use non-typed args as Ray suggested.
Personally, I would choose to use typed arguments. It also helps to document your components. It's not very beneficial to see an unknown data type as an argument. If you wanted to get deep into it, I guess you could always call a "wrapper" component that takes, as arguments, the method you eventually want to call as well as a return structure in case you expect anything from the method. That would get messy and I would only want to do it as an exercise. M!ke -----Original Message----- From: Bryan F. Hogan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 11:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CFCDev] Catching Argument Type Errors Can someone tell me how if it is possible to catch argument type errors? For example: <cffunction name="test" access="public" returntype="numeric" output="false"> <cfargument name="testValue" required="yes" type="numeric"> <cfset var testReturn=(arguments.testValue*10)> <cfreturn testReturn> </cffunction> If invoke it like: <cfdump var="#test('test')#"> I don't want my error handler thrown. I want to catch that error within the component, pass it to another component to log it and/or display a friendly error. Is there a way to catch argument type errors? ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
