<error-code>404</error-code> happens only once.

[C Vivek]

Dear All,

I have added the following code in my web.xml

 
<!DOCTYPE webapp SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>

<welcome-file-list>index.jsp, index.html</welcome-file-list>

<error-page>
 <error-code>404</error-code>
 <location>/error.html</location>
</error-page>
 
 <directory-servlet>none</directory-servlet>
</web-app>

   

The error.html displays the first time but after the first attempt if I try to display the same page, it gives me the standard html 404 error page. The only way I get to see the page again if I make some changes to web.xml

Please could anyone help?

Regards,
Vivek

What server/container are you using?
Are you sure the subsequent attempts are using the exact same URL as the first one?

Standard error message doesn't mean much (especially if we don't know what container you're using.)
It would be better if you posted the contents of the error page.

I use Resin 2.0.5

The first time web.xml throws the custom error page upon requesting a non-existant page

say - 'http://localhost:8080/pm/d'

custom error.jsp runs

again if i say - http://10.16.58.162:18880/km/dhhh

the standard 404 html appears for future logins.

I think the web.xml still runs each time coz it does disable the directory access using the following code

  <directory-servlet>none</directory-servlet>  

Thanks in advance

You've posted two different URLs; each pointing to a separate context.
Are you making the same changes in each application?

[C Vivek]

oops sorry.
they both point to the same url.. both point to http://10.16.58.162:18880/km/
