Hi all,
I am trying to configure an errorPage, but it's not working...
below is code for my web.xml, errorPage.jsp.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
web.xml

<web-app
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">

<description>
JSP 2.0 Examples.
</description>
<display-name>JSP 2.0 Examples</display-name>

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

<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/errorPage.jsp</location>
</error-page>
</web-app>

------------------------------------------------------------
errorPage.jsp

<%@ page isErrorPage="true" %>
<html><body>
<h1> Sorry!! There is a problem... </h1>
</body></html>

-----------------------------------

now, I tried it with a simple jsp, below is the code for that

badPage.jsp
------------------------------------
<html<body>
<H1> Hello!!! <br> Welcome to my Page </h1>
<BR><A Href="Each.jsp" >Each</A>
</body></html>
------------------------------------------

The link Each refers to a page that doesnot exist, so after clicking on the link, the error page should appear... but problem is that, it is showing the usual "The page cannot be found" page....
I added <%@ page errorPage="errorPage.jsp" %> in the badPage.jsp, but even that is not working...
I would really appriciate any help...

Regards,
Sushma

Hi,

Your quote

The link Each refers to a page that doesnot exist, so after clicking on the link, the error page should appear... but problem is that, it is showing the usual "The page cannot be found" page....



Some browsers display their own customized page for the error codes (Status code set in the response header).

Try to test in another browser like FireFox.

Thanks

Hi,

In your code


The exception type should be java.lang.Throwable

Thanks

I get the "The page cannot be found" message in my browser. Is this browser specific ?

IE 6.0 / Tomcat5.0.30 / Win XP

Included this in web.xml

Hi PNS,

Yes it is browser Specific. The IE display it's own Page. It shows the Page not Found heading and lot of option to try.

Try to run the same example in FireFox 1.3 ( that I am using), It will display the proper errorPage.jsp page.

Thanks

Hi Friends!!

I just discovered that if you can get the same result in Internet Explorer..if you uncheck the option "Show friendly HTTP Error Messages" from Tools->Internet Options-> Advanced-> Browsing .

SCJP 1.4 : 91%
SCWCD 1.4 : 95%
SCBCD 1.3 : 95%
SCJP 6 Upgrade : 95%
Next SCBCD 1.5

Thanks all - it was a case of having the setting changed in IE as described above.

Hi,
I tried amit's suggestion. Now, when I click on my Each link, it doesn't give me that internet explorer's "The Page can not be Found" page, But, now it shows me
HTTP Status - 404 error that "the requested resource (/Each.jsp) is not available." that is, the message tomcat gives when a resource is unavailable... It is still not going to my error page...

Regards,

Sushma
