Compiler exception errors

If ColdFusion encounters a compiler exception, how it handles the exception depends on whether the error occurs on a requested page or on an included page:

• If the error occurs on a page that is accessed by a cfinclude or cfmodule tag, or on a custom tag page that you access using the cf_ notation, ColdFusion handles it as a runtime exception in the page that accesses the tag. See the Runtime exception errors section, next, for a description of how these errors are handled.
• If the error occurs directly on the requested page, ColdFusion handles the error as follows:
  • If a cferror tag on the Application.cfm page specifies an error handler for the exception type, ColdFusion displays the specified error page.
  • If the Administrator Settings Site-wide Error Handler field specifies an error handler page, ColdFusion displays the specified error page.
  • Otherwise, ColdFusion reports the error using the standard error message format described in Error messages and the standard error format.
