Errorpage

Hi,

in section SRV.9.9.2 of the Servlet Spec. Version 2.3 a list of request
attributes is given (e.g. javax.servlet.error.exception). These request
attributes must be set by the container. However using Tomcat 4.0.1 the
attributes are not available for an errorpage specified in the page
directive. They are only available, if the errorpage is specified in
web.xml. Feature or bug?


Thanks a lot!

The page directive is JSP specific, and tells Tomcat that you want the
"JSP way" of handling these exceptions, rather than the "servlet way".  If
you want to handle JSP page exceptions and see the request attributes, I
suggest that you dispense with the page directives and just declare your
error pages in web.xml.
