Tip of the Week: Using Your customErrorTemplate Setting

Brad Wood |  August 09, 2012

 

ColdBox gives you several ways to deal with unhandled exceptions in your application such as the exceptionHandler event and the onException interception point to name a couple.  With either of those approaches, you can redirect the request to a different event.  If you don't redirect or abort the request though, ColdBox will eventually display the contents of your error template.

Exception Encountered" header.  While BugReport.cfm is chock-full of juicy error details (including the SQL of queries that errored), it isn't the kind of information you want to be revealing to the general public.
