A Java object.

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, 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>
