general CF error handling

[MarcDePoe]

Hello all,

ok, if I have this right,

cferror lets me use a custom template instead of the default CF error output, in which I can use all the nice 'ERROR. variables', but CF will not parse coldfusion tags in this template.

ok ... understandable

but if I use cftry/cfcatch I can do whatever I want (cfmail,cffile, etc.), but now I don't have any goodies! (error.diagnostics, etc.), and not only that, CF makes no entry in the application.log!

Am I missing something? Is there some sort of happy medium?

For a particular template, I need 2 things :

1. notification of errors (via cfmail or cffile)
2. description of errors (via anything)

(to my knowledge, this can only be accomplished by constantly scanning the application log)

Is there a way to get detailed error diagnostics from the system using cfcatch?

two clumps short a full head

With CF 4.5 you can choose to manually "throw" an error. You can also have that error handled transparently and generate an email...

In fact, here is a link to a script I called the "error monitor" which does exaclty that:
