error-page tag and sendError

[sangeeta kapoor]

I have the following entry in my DD


<error-page>
<error-code>403</error-code>
<location>/Forbidden.jsp</location>
</error-page>


and a jsp page with the following code

<% response.sendError(403); %>

I was expecting the response to come from Forbidden.jsp but instead it gave me this message

I got correct result i.e, from the Forbidden.jsp....

After verifying you haven't made any typo, and if you use Internet Explorer, verify that you didn't activated sipmplified HTTP error messages in your IE oprions.

Hi Sangeeta,

if you r using IE then go to
Tools->Internet Options

click advanced tab n uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages"

this will definately work
