I do something similar in that I use a stand-alone CFC that holds any error information. Internally, it is stored in an array of structures.
It's pretty simple, but it comes in very handy. I, as well as many others, ran into a similar solution with "typed" CFC instance variables, getters and setters. I had two options: 1. Leave the variables and getters/setters "typed" and then throw/catch errors all over the place or, 2. leave the instance variables "untyped" and use logic in the methods to determine if the value validates. I chose method "2" at the time.

As soon as CF sees an error, it will pass that specific reference to the error page. You cannot control what information it receives. Why not just have an array in request (e.g. Request.PageErrors) that you add each exception to and then in OnRequestEnd.cfm (or in OnRequestEnd function of Application.cfc) check the length of the array and then display them all? It's really not that hard and doesn't take a lot of code. Instead of <cfthrow ...> you would have this code after every validation check... <cfset arrayAppend(request.pageErrors, "No Service or Product Code entered, one is required.")> Then in OnRequestEnd... <cfif ArrayLen(request.pageErrors) gt 0> <cfloop through your array> ... Display error(s) ... </cfloop> </cfif> > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2005 11:22 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Aggregating Errors > > Can anybody give me pointers on a simple method to use cftry/cfcatch > and cferror functionality to aggregate multiple errors into a single > error display? > > This is for a user validation type function.
