RE: Custom HTTP 503 Error Page Not Working - Tomcat 5.5.15

[Rick G <to...@vidyah.com>]

 Just wondering if anyone has solved this, I have been having the same
issue.  I basically just need Tomcat to send the 503 message through the JK
connector so Apache can handle it instead of Tomcat returning its own 503
message.  The intended goal is to have apache display a static "maintenance"
page if the web-app is stopped, instead of tomcat returning its own
generated 503 response.

Thanks for any info,

-Rick

Thanks, Chuck.
   
  In my case, the default servlet/container DID send the HTTP 503 error
back, displaying the error with the Tomcat default 503 error page, instead
of the custom error page.

  I also did a small experiment by removing the web application all
together. In this case, the container returns the custom 404 error page
which is correct since the web app is permanently unavailable.
   
  So I think Tomcat does the right thing for the most part, with the
exception that it fails to pick up the custom error page, unless I missed
something with configuration.
   
  Thanks,
  ym

I think the above clause lets the container off the hook, since the app code
could not have used the sendError method (since the app was disabled). It
would seem a bit risky for the container to be looking at any configuration
data or other resources of a disabled app, since that information may well
be in a state of flux.
