Handling of Mongo being down

[cfjedimaster]

If you run code and Mongo itself is down, the error isn't incredibly clear:

The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code.
Null Pointers are another name for undefined values.

The error occurred in C:\Users\Raymond\Dropbox\websites\testingzone\deepcomment\cfmongodb\core\DBCollection.cfc: line 365
363 : }
364 : var dbo = toMongo(doc);
365 : var writeResult = collection.remove( dbo );
366 : return writeResult;
367 : }

It seems like Mongo could handle this a bit better?

Ray, do you have a test that can reproduce this which I can run? When I attempt to reproduce, if Mongo is down, I get the typical "Can't say something" or "Can't call something" errors, with this message: "couldn't connect to [Marc-PC/192.168.1.104:27017] bc:java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect "

which is pretty clear to me
