Not sure I can really answer your entire question, but rethrow is used when you want to handle "some", but not "all" exceptions. For example, you could check for database connectivity errors and handle them inside a particular page. However, you don't handle the missing includes, so you use cfrethrow to pass it up a level where you, hopefully, catch it there.

It's a fairly messy site, and I eventually plan on refactoring the whole thing, but for now I just want to get more concise error reporting. Right now, I have one particular block that is puzzling me. I have a cftry/cfcatch block with a call to an external payment gateway (via cfhttp) that has a bad habit of timing out. In the cfcatch block I have it email me with a dump of #cfcatch#. Now, we ALSO added an error page in Application.cfm that will email me with #error# and a few other variables. I am not getting the #cfcatch# email, and when the transaction times out, the email I get says that it was cfmail who timed out (but how did I get the email if cfmail timed out?!) Should I just get rid of the try/catch block? Should I use cfthrow or cfrethrow in the catch block to send the error up to the main error page? I've never really "gotten" cfrethrow, and I'm fairly sure I'm on the wrong track here, so any insight would be appreciated. :) - Ken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:203669 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
