Adobe ColdFusion 8

Handling exceptions

Use the cftry and cfcatch tags to catch CORBA object method exceptions thrown by the remote server, as follows:

  1. Specify type="coldfusion.runtime.corba.CorbaUserException" in the cfcatch tag to catch CORBA exceptions.
  2. Use the cfcatch.getContents method to get the contents of the exception object.

The cfcatch.getContents method returns a ColdFusion structure containing the data specified by the IDL for the exception.

The following code example shows the IDL for a CORBA object that raises an exception defined by the PrimitiveException exception type definition, and the CFML that catches the exception and displays the contents of the object.

IDL

 interface myInterface { exception PrimitiveException { long l; string s; float f; }; void testPrimitiveException() raises (PrimitiveException); }

CFML

 <cftry> <cfset ret0 = handle.testPrimitiveException()> <cfcatch type=coldfusion.runtime.corba.CorbaUserException> <cfset exceptStruct= cfcatch.getContents()> <cfdump var ="#exceptStruct#"> </cfcatch> </cftry>
