that was the problem. I could find the functions I needed, but no background
on HOW to use them.
here's the code I ended up with, in case anyone wants a simple way of
trapping and archiving app errors with <cferror>
<cflock name="errorlock" timeout="5" throwontimeout="Yes" type="exclusive">
<cfif fileexists(expandpath('errors.xml'))>
<cffile action="READ"
file="#expandpath('errors.xml')#"
variable="errorfile">
<cfelse>
<cfset errorfile = "">
</cfif>
</cflock>
<cfscript>
if (len(trim(errorfile))) {
errorpacket = xmlparse(errorfile);
} else {
errorpacket = xmlnew();
errorpacket.xmlRoot = xmlelemnew(errorpacket, "incidents");
}
newElemPos = arraylen(errorpacket.incidents.xmlchildren)+1;
errorpacket.incidents.xmlchildren[newElemPos] = xmlElemNew(errorpacket,
"error");
errorpacket.incidents.xmlchildren[newElemPos].xmlchildren[1] =
xmlElemNew(errorpacket, "date");
errorpacket.incidents.xmlchildren[newElemPos].xmlchildren[1].xmltext =
now();
errorpacket.incidents.xmlchildren[newElemPos].xmlchildren[2] =
xmlElemNew(errorpacket, "referer");
errorpacket.incidents.xmlchildren[newElemPos].xmlchildren[2].xmltext =
xmlformat(error.httpreferer);
errorpacket.incidents.xmlchildren[newElemPos].xmlchildren[3] =
xmlElemNew(errorpacket, "diagnostics");
errorpacket.incidents.xmlchildren[newElemPos].xmlchildren[3].xmltext =
xmlformat(error.diagnostics);
</cfscript>
<cflock name="errorlock" timeout="5" throwontimeout="Yes" type="exclusive">
<cffile action="WRITE" file="#expandpath('errors.xml')#"
output="#tostring(errorpacket)#"
addnewline="No">
</cflock>
