Hi, I am redirecting error handlig to a servle via a jsp:forward action simply using the declarative context in the application's web.xml: <error-page> <error-code>400</error-code> <location>/ServerErr.jsp</location> </error-page> <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/ServerErr.jsp</location> </error-page> Now, the thing is that, as specified in the servlets 2.3 DTD, the servlet you are redirecting to has to be part of the same Web app context: . . . <!ELEMENT error-page ((error-code | exception-type), location)> The error-page element contains a mapping between an error code or exception type to the path of a resource in the web application <!ELEMENT error-code (#PCDATA)> The error-code contains an HTTP error code, ex: 404 <!ELEMENT exception-type (#PCDATA)> The exception type contains a fully qualified class name of a Java exception type. <!ELEMENT location (#PCDATA)> The location element contains the location of the resource in the web application . . . So I think you must have a redirecting JSP to a servlet, both in the same web application, possibly using general helper classes in <>/ROOT/classes also there is no hierarchical handling here. If the Web app context does not handle the error it is not redirected to the ROOT's web.xml. I am trying to avoid having a forwarding JSP and a servlet for each web context. Have you found a hack aroung this? Thanks
