UnixWare cvs7 5 7.0.1 i386 x86at SCO UNIX_SVR5
>Description:
The following JSDK 2.0 standard method for javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse is unsupported by Apache JServ 1.0b2:
public abstract void sendError(int sc, String msg) throws IOException
Sends an error response to the client using the specified status code and descriptive message. If setStatus has previously been called, it is reset to the error status code. The message is sent as the body of an HTML page, which is returned to the user to describe the problem. The page is sent with a default HTML header; the message is enclosed in simple body tags (<body></body>).
Parameters:
sc - the status code
msg - the detail message
Throws: IOException
If an I/O error has occurred.
[ NOTE: Apache directive in use: ErrorDocument 500 /internal_error.html ]
--------------------- internal_error.html source ------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
500 Internal Server Error
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
H1 { font-size: x-large; color: black }
</STYLE>
<BODY>
<B>
<H1>500 Internal Server Error</H1>

</BODY>
</HTML>
----------------- end internal_error.html source ------------------------
>How-To-Repeat:
Add the following to a servlet:
:
:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws
ServletException, IOException
{
:
:
:
resp.sendError(resp.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, "Application additional message text...");
:
:
:
}
>Fix:
Implement the JSDK 2.0 standard for sendErrorMessage(int sc,String msg) which will Send an error response to the client using the specified status code and a default message.
