Rethrows the currently active exception. Preserves the exception's cfcatch.type and cfcatch.tagContext information.
<cfrethrow>
cferror, cfthrow, cftry cfcatch
Use the cfrethrow tag within a cfcatch block. This tag is useful in error handling code when the error handler is not designed to handle an error that it catches. For example, if cfcatch type = "any" gets a DATABASE exception and the code is designed only to handle CFX exceptions, the handler should re-raise the original exception with details intact, so that a higher-level handler can process the error information. If you used cfthrow in this case, you would lose the type and relevant details of the original exception.

If the database signalled a 50555 error, we can ignore it,
otherwise rethrow the exception.
