tracker issue : CF-3038779

Problem:

This is complicated, but:
If an exception is thrown from within a CFC, from a UDF named 'throw', it can't be caught by a <cfcatch type="ExceptionType" /> statement.

I will provide the code below, and also in the forums as an attachment
Method:

index.cfm
--------------
<h1>Start exception test</h1>

<h2>script based, typed try/catch</h2>

<cfscript>
	try
	{
		createObject("component", "Exception").init("This is my message", "This is my detail");
	}
	catch(exception.Exception exc)
	{
		writeoutput("<p> Caught! </p>");
	}
</cfscript>

------------------

Exception.cfc
------------------ 

<cfcomponent hint="Base exception object" output="false">

<!------------------------------------------- PUBLIC ------------------------------------------->

<cffunction name="init" hint="Constructor" access="public" returntype="AbstractBaseException" output="false">
	<cfargument name="message" hint="the message for the exception" type="string" required="No" default="#getMetaData(this).hint#">
	<cfargument name="detail" hint="the detail for the exception" type="string" required="No">

	<cfif StructKeyExists(arguments, "detail")>
		<!---<cfthrow type="#getMetaData(this).name#" message="#arguments.message#" detail="#arguments.detail#">--->
		<cfset throw(getMetaData(this).name, arguments.message, arguments.detail) />
	</cfif>

	<cfthrow type="#getMetaData(this).name#" message="#arguments.message#">
</cffunction>

<!------------------------------------------- PACKAGE ------------------------------------------->

<!------------------------------------------- PRIVATE ------------------------------------------->

<cffunction name="throw" access="private" hint="Throws an Exception" output="false">
	<cfargument name="type" hint="The type of exception" type="string" required="Yes">
	<cfargument name="message" hint="The message to accompany the exception" type="string" required="Yes">
	<cfargument name="detail" type="string" hint="The detail message for the exception" required="No" default="">
		<cfthrow type="#arguments.type#" message="#arguments.message#" detail="#arguments.detail#">
</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>
