Hey people. I have the following cferror code for my custom error messages, but it won't work for missng templates. Not sure why have search high and low on the adobe forums and came out empty. Any help would be great.

=== Application.cfc ===

<cfcomponent>
   
    <cferror type="Request" template="errormessage.cfm"
           mailto="sample@gmail.com">
    <cferror type="Exception" template="errormessage.cfm"
           mailto="sample@gmail.com">
    <cferror type="Validation" template="errormessage.cfm"
           mailto="sample@gmail.com">

  <cffunction name="onRequestStart">
    <cflogin>
      <cfif IsDefined("FORM.Login_btn")>
        <cfquery name="qLogin" datasource="poll">
        SELECT UserLogin, UserPassword, UserRoleID
        FROM Users
        WHERE UserLogin = <cfqueryparam value="#cflogin.Name#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
        AND UserPassword = <cfqueryparam value="#cflogin.Password#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
        </cfquery>
        <cfif cflogin.name IS "#qLogin.UserLogin#" AND cflogin.password IS "#qLogin.UserPassword#">
          <cfloginuser name="#cflogin.name#"
                       password="#cflogin.password#"
                       roles="#qLogin.UserRoleID#">
        <cfelse>
        <cfset request.errorMsg = "Incorrect login; please try again">
          <cfinclude template="../login/login.cfm">
            <cfabort />   
        </cfif>
      <cfelse>
        <cfinclude template="../login/login.cfm">
          <cfabort />
      </cfif>
    </cflogin>
  </cffunction>
 
</cfcomponent>

    When you say missing templates, do you mean ones that are referred to on a URL, or when using CFINCLUDE (or both)?

    If it's from the URL, then odds-on the web server is checking whether the file exists before passing processing to CF, and if it doesn't exist, it uses its own 404 handler.

    PS: I'd probably use onError() and onMissingTemplate() if I was using Application.cfc.  To me CFERROR is a bit of an old artefact of the pre-event-driven days of Application.cfm.  Either will work, but the event-handler approach is more inkeeping with the intents of Application.cfc.
