using error-page tag in Deployment Descriptor

[Shamsul Deen]

Hi,

I have used page directive <%@ page errorPage="errorPage.jsp" %> is my badPage.jsp file. It works fine.

I am trying to use deployment descriptor tag <error-page> for the same.

<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.ArithmeticException</exception-type>
<location>/errorPage.jsp</location>
</error-page>

But it is comming up with HTTP 500 error - page not found.
If I refresh the page it start working fine.

Any help with Tomcat 5.0?

Kind regards,

[Nathan Pruett]

friend,"HTTP 500 error" means service error,"page not found" which error-code is 404

HTTP 500 occurs when the server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. I think it is nothing to do with page mapping, look at your tomcat configurations.
