I think instead of using a cftry/cfcatch block I would use
cfparam to make sure the struct existed and then use the
structIsEmpty function to determine whether or not to build
the collection or use it...
<cfparam name="yourCollection" default="#StructNew()#" type="struct" />
<cfif structIsEmpty(yourCollection)>
<!--- Build collection --->
</cfif>
This all assumes a collection is a struct, which I do not know as
I do not use the cfcollection/cfindex tags that often.
