GetException(object)

Parameters

Usage

ColdFusion stores a Java exception object for each method call on a Java object. Subsequent method calls reset the exception object. To get the current exception object, you must call GetException on the Java object before other methods are invoked on it.

Example

<!--- Create the Java object reference --->
<cfobject action = create type = java class = primativetype name = myObj>
<!--- Calls the object's constructor --->
<cfset void = myObj.init()>
<cftry>
<cfset void = myObj.DoException() >
<Cfcatch type = "Any">
    <cfset exception = GetException(myObj)>
<!--- User can call any valid method on the exception object.--->
    <cfset message = exception.toString()>
    <cfoutput>
        Error<br>
        I got exception <br>
        <br> The exception message is: #message# <br>
    </cfoutput> 
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
