Since we're already well into January, it's probably a bit late for well-wishes for the New Year. At least it's timing is consistent with my postings here. New Year's Resolution 1: Reduce Procrastination Time. New Year's Resolution 2: Don't Wait Until Almost February To Make New Year's Resolutions.
Anyway, on my dev note, I've been doing this a long time, and I've seen some very odd error messages pop up. Last week, I received the most unhelpful ColdFusion Error Message I think I've ever seen: "6". Yup, that was the entire error message.
I got it on a Query of Query that had a UNION in it. I know QoQ is very limited in what you can do, but a UNION should work. I could run each statement individually in the query, and I could run them both together as a UNION in SQL Developer, just not in my CFC. Syntactically, there was nothing wrong with my query. Regardless, I moved on.
Turns out, it was an error buried deep in the Java handler that apparently didn't have a good way to be returned, so the actual error that bubbled back up to ColdFusion was a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException type with no Error Message passed through.
Still though, "6"???
