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:
<cfthrow message="Oops! Something went wrong.">
If you get that output on the page you probably had a compile time error in
the custom tag.
