A plugin to reuse the wheels framework to render exception messages.

Description
This plugin adds a new method that can be used in "/events/onerror.cfm", "/events/onmaintenance" and "/events/onmissingmethod.cfm" to reuse the wheels framework to render exception pages. The methods include:
exceptionRender(route, controller, action, key, params)
Call this method from from the files listed above to reuse 100% of your existing code. This plugin has a couple of benefits which include:
- Response codes 404 and 500 are preserved.
- 100% reuse of your existing layouts and templates. No need to duplicate your layouts in onerror.cfm and onmissingtemplate.cfm
- Coldfusion still catches errors that occur in onerror() and onMissingMethod() so you application will never hang from errors created inside of the error trapping system.
If you have a complex application this can save you time since you would no longer need to duplicate layouts, templates, etc.
Uninstallation
To uninstall this plugin simply delete the /plugins/ExceptionRender-0.1.zip file.
