What sort of error were you creating in your custom tag?
If it's an error that occurs when the server tries to compile the code from
CFML to Java then the try/catch won't do anything. If it's an error that
occurs because of a runtime error such as a non-existant variable then it
should catch the error.
A simple way to check would be to add this to an otherwise good custom tag:
If you get that output on the page you probably had a compile time error in
the custom tag.
