System functions

getException(object)

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.

<!--- 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>
