There are a lot of error handling possibilties in CF. try/catch is the first and some of the easiest ways if you want to make sure that a certain event occurs and to track it. You have the onError function for application.cfc that can assist you in creating generic error handlers. Also, you yet another layer that is the site wide error handler. You need to sit down and play with each type. You can create custom error handlers using cftry/catch, cfthrow and cfrethrow.
