I wanted to be lazy and throw with just types and then tack on a common message in the catch block. I'll just toss the message on in the throws themselves then 🙂 thanks!

Copy code
/**
     * This function will convert a read-only struct to a writable one. In CF10, this is necessary for read-only CFCATCH objects if you want to manipulate them.
     *
     * @data any       The "object" to convert to a normal struct
     *
     * @return struct
     */
    public struct function toRegularStruct(required any data) {
        // Just copy the passed in structure's elements into a new/normal struct object
        return structFilter(arguments.data, function() {
			return true;
        }); 
    }

you can use that to make it behave 'normally'

nice! thank you 🙂

It's very bloody annoying that one cannot create one's own exceptions in CFML 😐

or to modify them. If I want to lie to myself about what was thrown, that's on me 😄

Can you extend the built-in exception type somehow? Haven't tried.

Urgh. The challenge is that there's no uniform implementation for an exception in CFML: Lucee didn't follow CF's lead here so whilst CF throws a 
coldfusion.runtime.CustomException
when one goes 
throw "something"
, Lucee throws a (shockingly poorly named) 
lucee.runtime.exp.CatchBlockImpl
. Also 
coldfusion.runtime.CustomException
is 
final
, so no extending anyhow. That said, one could easily knock together one's own custom exceptions in Java. It does require doing Java (and I know a lot of CFMLers are allergic to pushing that particular boat out), but the Java knowledge required is minimal.
