Custom Error Handler Templates in CF MX 7 and Above

This workshop is accessible for beginner ColdFusion developers but it will be innovative enough for the more advanced developers.

The topic is error customization through CFERROR and the Application template (using CF MX 7.) Typically, the ColdFusion Error message is ugly and alarming. Custom error messages can make a more pleasant experience for the user and a more robust solution for the developer but they come with new problems and drawbacks. While the basic technique is straight from a Forta book, the presentation implements several improvements and techniques that Forta left out as well as tips for solving some of the hidden problems associated with these techniques.
