Thanks for the response. Interesting observation - I AM using a rethrow in a cfcatch, though I don't think that's what's causing the problem.
I use a rethrow because timeout errors come in two types here: type=unknown and type=com.allaire.coldfusion.request.timeout. I have 4 cfcatch's: type=expression, type=database, type=any, type=any. Inside the first type=any I check if type=...timeout or if the first 17 characters of cfcatch.message are "Request timed out". If so, I rethrow, and the second type=any is actually the cfcatch for timeouts. Since the caught type is database, I don't think this error-handling is getting to the type=any cfcatch statements. We're not using cferror type=monitor, only type=exception. Though perhaps I should be using type=request to catch more things if they slip past the cfcatch's. thanks for the ideas, Chris Norloff ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 15:07:12 -0500 >> Here's an odd one - I've got two instances where an error >> was, at the same time, caught and handled by cfcatch, and >> NOT-CAUGHT and hit the CFserver. >> >> I'll put the shorter of the two examples below - one is the >> application.log file entry, and the other is our logging of >> all error.vars available.
