Custom 404 page when a webapp is stopped by the manager

[Pascal Gauthier <pg...@le-son666.com>]

Hi,

we have a tomcat webapp that needs to be down if we are doing a maintenance to the database. The manager seems to be the perfect solution to make the application unavailable but we found out that the 404 error-page cannot be customized.

Even if we modified the default web.xml (in conf/) to add the error-page 404,  it doesn't seems to be resolved when the context is stopped.

If I type an URL that doesn't exists, that doesn't map to any context, I get the right error page. But if it match a context path of a webapp that is stopped, I have the Tomcat default error page. Is there a way to fix this?

Are we the only one trying to have a custom error page when the webapp is down? 

thanks in advance
pascal.

Hi,

If you use apache and mod_jk, an issue could be :
when you stop your Context, you change your JkMount towards a custom Tomcat Context that display your desired error-page.

If you use a Tomcat standalone, I don't kown how to ... :-(
