tracker issue : CF-3043880

Problem:

Summary: change in behaviour in CFABORT in CF9 breaks backwards compatIt looks like this E/R - http://cfbugs.adobe.com/cfbugreport/flexbugui/cfbugtracker/main.html#bugId=80798 - has been implemented.In previous versions of CF, CFABORT meant... ABORT.  Now in CF9 it means "well... kinda abort, but actually keep doing some stuff".  This is just daft.I can see how someone MIGHT want  to exit a request and continue with onRequestEnd(), but CFABORT is not the way to do this.  I would have thought using something like <CFEXIT type="request"> might make more sense.As for  having similar behaviour for CFLOCATION situation, perhaps <CFEXIT type="relocate" URL="whatever">Or something else.But what should NOT have been done is to break the existing behaviour of these very very fundamental tags.  Especially without actually documenting it (that I can find).I think this is serious enough that removal of the current behaviour should be treated as a hotfix.  Reimplementation of another way of handling this could perhaps wait until a subsequent point release of CF.There is further discussion on this topic on Ben Nadel's blog, here:http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2221-CFAbort-And-OnRequestEnd-Behavior-In-ColdFusion-8-And-ColdFusion-9.htm-- Adam
