Unable to redirect to error page in declarative Exception handling

[Shyam A <st...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I use declarative Exception handling for my Struts
application in 2 places - struts-config.xml and
web.xml.

I use the following in my Struts-config.xml:

##############################################
 <global-exceptions>
	<exception
            key="error.exception"
            type="java.lang.Exception"		
handler="dsap.application.action.DsapExceptionHandler"
            path="/error.jsp"/>

 </global-exceptions>

###############################################
In my Exception Handler class, I use - 
return new ActionForward(ae.getPath()) to redirect to
the error page.

Also,I have an error page defined in my web.xml
as follows:

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


The error page, error.jsp is directly under the
application directory like the other JSPs.

However, my application is not redirected to the error
page - "error.jsp", when there is an Exception like
NullPointerException.

Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shyam
