Yea, it is the generic nature of the error that is so frustrating. Like I
said, I can still call the same class file and make the identical method
call from another cf file even after the webservice starts throwing the
error, so my assumption is that it is being cached somewhere. I tried
clearing the template and cfc caches which had no affect on it though. If I
knew that I could reset it without having to reboot CF, I could then build
a test to do so on error. I'll try your suggestion of caching it in the
application scope and see if that fixes the issue. Thanks Russ.
