Attributes
The attributes for this tag are fixed. Except for the following attributes no other attributes are allowed.
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| detail | string | No | A detailed description of the event. The CFML server appends the position of the error to this description; the server uses this parameter if an error is not caught by your code. |
| errorcode | string | No | A custom error code that you supply. |
| extendedinfo | string | No | extended information to the exception. |
| message | any | No | A message that describes the exceptional event. |
| object | any | No | a native java exception Object, if this attribute is defined all other will be ignored |
| type | string | No | A custom type or the predefined type Application. Do not enter any other predefined types because they are not generated by CFML applications. If you specify the exception type Application, you need not specify a type for cfcatch, because the Application type is the default cfcatch type |
