detail _{string, optional}	A detailed description of the event. The CFML server appends the position of the error to this description; the server uses this parameter if an error is not caught by your code.

extendedinfo _{string, optional}	extended information to the exception.
object _{any, optional}	A native Java exception Object, if this attribute is defined, all other attributes are ignored
