Re: Easy <cftry> question

Dan,

 Maybe you can explain something to me. When I tried using <cflocation> as  you 
suggested, my errors don't show up.  They only show up when using <cfinclude> 
so that's why I use that particular statement.

 [b]This doesn't work:[/b]

 <cfset foundDatabaseError = "No">

 <cftry>
 <cfquery name="">
 </cfquery>

 <cfcatch type="any">
 <cfset foundDatabaseError = "Yes">
 </cfcatch>
 </cftry>

 <cfif foundDatabaseError equal "Yes">
 <cfset session.errors[1] = "Database Connection error.">
 <cflocation url="index.cfm">
 <cfabort>
 </cfif>

 [b]This works:[/b]

 <cfset foundDatabaseError = "No">

 <cftry>
 <cfquery name="">
 </cfquery>

 <cfcatch type="any">
 <cfset foundDatabaseError = "Yes">
 </cfcatch>
 </cftry>

 <cfif foundDatabaseError equal "Yes">
 <cfset session.errors[1] = "Database Connection error.">
 <cfinclude template="index.cfm">
 <cfabort>
 </cfif>

 [b]Application.cfm[/b]

 some start code
 .
 .
 .
 <cfif not IsArray("session.errors")>
   <cfset session.errors = ArrayNew(1)>
 </cfif>
 .
 .
 some end code


 [b]Index.cfm[/b]

 some start code
 .
 .
 .
 <cfoutput>
 <cfif not ArrayIsEmpty(session.errors)>
   <cfloop index="loopCounter" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(session.errors)#">
     <tr>
     <td id="red">#session.errors[loopCounter]#</td>
     </tr>
   </cfloop>
   <cfset clearErrors = ArrayClear(session.errors)>
   <cfelse>
     <tr>
     <td>&nbsp;</td>
     </tr>
 </cfif>
 </cfoutput>
 .
 .
 .
 some end code

 I've tried the above code several times and the session.errors will only show 
up when doing a <cfinclude> statement and not a <cflocation> statement.  Why is 
that?
