[CFCDev] CFC - Web service error handling

[Ian Skinner]

I have recently written my first, simple webservice and once I learned the importance of white space, ie have none; in any application.cfm file located in the same dirctory with the webservice CFC, all went well. My question is what is the best pratice to handling errors in a webservice? Other then have none, of course! It seems to me, on first glance, to be a bit of a tricky subject? What information, if any, about an error do you provide to a consumer of the webservice. And if you do provide information, how do you do this, if you are specifing the return type to be something incompatable with returning useful error information? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
