Dusty, I have some code that I'll send you off-list of example cferror and onError implementations with notification. You have to be very careful with it, because you don't want it to become a potential denial of service vector. My samples include notification throttles that will shut off at a preset number of notifications and can be reset by a command.
Something to keep in mind though is that cferror and the sitewide error template are NOT an exception handling strategy, they are just last lines of defense. If you do your exception handling in a correct and layered fashion, those last lines of defense will almost never get used. If a sitewide error template or cferror routinely get called, you have systemic problems in your application that should be remediated. But that said, you should still implement those and NEVER present an end user with a naked CF error. Not because they are ugly, but because they can expose information that is a security threat. ----- Original Message ---- From: Dusty Hale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: discussion@acfug.org Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 9:18:00 PM Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] error handling I was wondering if anyone wanted to discuss best approaches to error handling for cf sites. I want to implement some very basic error handling for one of my sites. Basically I just don't want the ugly cf errors to display for users of the site. I would also like to be notified via email when an error happens and better yet get the error information. Is the best approach still the <cferror> tag? Is there a newer or better approach or best practice? Anyone got some code they could share?
