Problem Description:
throw/cfthrow doesn't support the ability to specify an exception cause. Being able to specify which low-level exception caused the high-level exception is very useful in order to avoid swallowing important error details when throwing a custom exception in response to another exception.
Steps to Reproduce: -
Actual Result: -
Expected Result:
We should be able to pass a "cause" argument to throw/cfthrow which would accept a java.lang.Throwable.
Any Workarounds:
We can directly instanciate a coldfusion.runtime.CustomException and call the initCause method.
<cftry>
<cfthrow type="LowLevel" message="Low-level exception">
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfset highLevelEx = createObject('java', 'coldfusion.runtime.CustomException').init('HighLevel', 'message', 'detail', 'errorCode', 'extendedInfo')>
<cfset highLevelEx.initCause(cfcatch)>
<cfthrow object="#highLevelEx#">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
