Per .jeff, I don't think you need CFASSOCIATE. I normally return a
structure named the same as the custom tag, with various fields that are
needed. For example, if I have a custom tag called validate.cfm, I would add
this to the end of the tag:
<CFSET Validate=StructNew()>
<CFSET Validate.Error="Invalid Fields">
<CFSET Validate.BadFields="Name, address">
<CFSET Caller.validate=Validate>
Now, in the caller tag, validate.Error will give you the error "Invalid
Fields", and so forth.
We're writing a spec for this way of dealing with customn tags. We've been
using it as a coding standard internally, and it seems to work well.
