how to handle errors in JSF

[u sandhya]

Hi,
i am facing problem in JSF in handling serverside errors.
For Ex:
If i have a JSF page, i want throw an serverside error in error page.

What kind or error page are you talking about? Are you wanting to redirect to another page that contains the error, like a 404 error page? Or are you wanting to display simple "Error logging in" type error messages?

I haven't really had to do too much with error pages like you are requesting, however, I would think that you still define the error page in your web.xml like so:

<error-page>
  <error-code>404</error-code>
  <location>/error404.jsp</location>
</error-page>

Is there something JSF specific about your error pages?

yes.It's a jsf specific.As u mentioned code ,that is already i tried.Thanks for u reply.

What happened when you tried the code? Did you build the error page(s) just like you would a JSF page? I am not 100% sure how the life cycle is handled for error pages, but I would suspect they go through the same controller mechanism?

Hi,

This is also a similar question related to JSF error page redirection. I need to be redirected to the error page if there are any unhandled errors like 404 ,505 and i wish to have the stack trace also printed.

Thanks in advance...
