Tag context information

The ColdFusion Administrator's debugging settings page allows you to"Enable CFML
stack trace." When this setting is enabled, CFCATCH blocks make available an array of
structures called CFCATCH.TagContext. Each structure represents one level of the
ColdFusion runtime's active tag context at the time when the ColdFusion interpreter
detected the exception.
The structure at position 1 of the array represents the outermost tag in the stack of tags
that were executing when the interpreter detected the exception. The structure at
position ArrayLen(CFCATCH.TAGCONTEXT) represents the currently executing tag at
the time the interpreter detected the exception.
The TagContext structures have the following attributes:
TEMPLATE — The pathname of the application page that contains the tag.
LINE and COLUMN — The tag's line number and column number within the
application page.
Note
Turn off "Enable CFML stack trace" to avoid having production servers
expend resources creating a traceback stack by default. When this setting
is disabled, CFCATCH.TAGCONTEXT is a zero-length array.
