cfscript Error Trapping

[cutie369]

What is the proper syntax for trapping for errors in cfscript?

[ScottAtHelloMetro]

<cftry>

*your code that may throw an error*

<cfcatch type="any"> *various error types can be specified here but 'any' catches all of them*

*Code that handles the error such as sending a message to the admin, redirecting the user, reloading the page, etc.*

</cfcatch>
</cftry>

I just realized your question is specific to cfscript. I'm not sure this is what you are looking for....

What sort of errors are you looking to trap?

[cutie369]

I am looking to trap errors coming back from a SOAP call. The proper error message not getting processed properly by ColdFusion

<cfscript>
ws = createobject ( "webservice", " http://darin/webservicetest1/service1.asmx?WSDL");

try {
ret = ws.HelloWorld(true);
}
catch(any excp){
WriteOutput("error there: #excp# <br>");
}

header = getSOAPResponseHeader(ws, " http://tempuri.org/", "returnheader");
writeoutput ("header: " & #header# & "<br><br>");

writeoutput("returned value: " & #ret#);
</cfscript>

<cfoutput>
#htmlcodeformat(header)#
</cfoutput>

This itself will error as excp will be a struct, and you can't simply
output it like that. You probably want to output excp.message, or
something.

Other than that, your usage of try / catch is correct.
