cferror and exceptions
Hi All We are trying to utilise one of the new CF4.5 features where you can catch exceptions using cferror instead of using cftry and cfcatch. However, our host is on 4.5 and it is not working - anyone else had this experience of know of a bug/solution? Many thanks!

RE: cferror and exceptions
what is the content of the templates that you are calling, in the event of
cferror?
Only minimal cfcode is allowed, basically Whichever error
variables your exception creates. You can also do whatever
standard html you want. (I suspect this is so you won't create an exception
and start an infinite loop)
To do other processing on it, you would need to hit another page. I
accomplish this by creating a form on the template page. with all of the
error scoped variables being the values of my hidden form fields, display
some type of "happy" error message, and the body tag has an
onLoad="setTimeout('document.forms[0].submit();',6000)" to send it to
another page after enough time to read the page. This next page can do any
cfm processing.

When you use exception handling, you can specify whatever CFML code you want within the CFCATCH block(s) of your exception handler. An exception in CF isn't exactly the same thing as an error - think of it as a potential error, or an "error-in-waiting". If an exception isn't handled, it will become an error. CF will stop the processing of the request, and log the error. If you use the CFERROR tag with the TYPE attribute set to "REQUEST" to redirect the error to a specific page, that page may only reference the error variables, and can't have any CFML tags or functions within it - not even the CFOUTPUT mentioned above.

You'll have to be more specific, I think. What exactly isn't working? Can you show code?

Re: cferror and exceptions
I think I have had that problem i place a in my application.cfm files and have it email me on EVERY error that is not caught by a cfcatch although I have noticed that for whatever reason there are a couple errors that seem to get past. The one that I noticed was when my DSL connection goes down and my ODBC conneciton to the database cannot be made and the cfapplication tag blows up. Is this kind of what you're talking about?
