In CFML, exceptions are usually handled within try, catch, and finally blocks. Typically, developers use catch blocks to handle exceptions, but what if you need to handle multiple exceptions at once? In this blog, we’ll explore how to handle multiple exceptions in CFML’s catch statements effectively, improving error management in your ColdFusion applications. Handling multiple exception in one catch clause allows: […]

Thread Interrupts in ColdFusion

An interrupt is an indication to a thread that it should stop what it is doing and do something else. It’s up to the programmer to decide exactly how a thread responds to an interrupt, but it is very common for the thread to terminate. This is particularly useful in multi-threaded applications where you might want to gracefully stop a thread, handle a long-running task’s termination, or check for some condition periodically.   Why Use Interrupts? Graceful Termination: Interrupts provide […]
