Sorry but i dont have an answer for your question :-( but, While we are on the subject of errors and java, i have in place try and catch tags and also have cferror tags to catch any errors which the try/catch miss. the problem is, is that the other day a server went down and the dsn was un reachable. I cant remember the exact error, but it was a java. something error. The error was displayed as a standard coldfusion error and wasnt picked up by my try/catch or cferror tags and was displayed as a normal coldfusion error, thus showing the dsn for all and sundry to see.
Is there any way of catching these java errors and if so how. cheers jamie > funny you should mention log4j.
