404

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

One general point about the use of 404 error messages. We recently which resulted in a wrong URL. It contained a double slash ('//'):

www.test.com//forum/forums/...

this was killing the parsing in ActionServletRequest. As I wrote - we miss configured our application - so that is not neseccary a bug.

But one thing realy slowed us down when searching for the reason:

There war no error! No log entry no nothing. The JForum.java answered with a 404 header and that's all.

I think a bit more communication with the unknowing of us would be realy nice.

Just my 2cent.

Cheers,
Eike

You mean, logging the error?

yes - at least.

But as this is an error in the configuration an exception would be the better solution.
