Chapter 8. Exceptions

In this chapter, we will examine some things that are familiar to ColdFusion programmers, such as the difference between exceptions and errors, and the try, catch, and throw statements. We will also look at how an OOP language like Java extends the exception handling concept to include checked and unchecked exceptions, the finally statement, and assertions.
