Just to poke in, maybe it's already been discussed: CF 4.5 didn't allow the use of any CFML in error templates. It's a bit buried, but the docs for CF 4.5 are here: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/documentation452.ht ml/ This is from the "Developing Web Application..." book: "The error application page is a file that includes HTML and the parameters associated with the error. The error application page cannot use any CFML tags. The parameters associated with an error depend on the type of error. All the error parameters use the Error prefix (for example, Error.Diagnostics)." The original thinking was that if the server was hosed you'd still get your error page. But it wasn't very flexible. I honestly can't remember or find if the missing template handler was restricted by the same rules... but I have a vague recollection that it was.
