Feeling Stupid about onError()

Communities ColdBox HMVC
#1

Sometimes I can’t see the forest because all the doggone trees are in the way. Lord willin, that is the case here.

I have implemented the onError() method in the handler for a RESTful service. It works fine, but I am struggling with what the properties are of the “exception” argument that is passed in. Are these documented somewhere. I initially figured it would be the exceptionBean accessors, but that is not the case.

Any help, pointers, etc., would be appreciated!

ColdBox is currently simply passing a CFCATCH as the exception argument. So, you can simply treat this as a CFCATCH, or, file a bug report.

here are the docs for cfcatch http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7ec5.html

There is a lot of information about the error contained in that structure, these 3 will usually give you what you want but check out the docs if you need more.

Hi, Dan and Aaron:

Thanks for your responses on this, gentlemen. Shortly after writing the original email, I dumped the exception into the REST response and figured it out. Why I didn’t think of that originally, I don’t know. Guess I just wanted someone to hold my hand

Cheers!
