RE: has anyone ever got the feature (defined in web.
xml) to work?
Hi,
We are trying to use the <error-page> facility but without any success. Does
Tomcat implement this or not?
Has anyone seen it working?

Hi Tim,
I tried the stuff you described, but had not success with it.
I placed the error-page item in both web.xml files, but nothing changed.
In addition I removed the <login-config> from the web-app web.xml file and
placed that section into the default web.xml.
The result was, that the login-config seemed to be lost.
So what's wrong? I use Tomcat 3.2.2.
It seems to me, that Tomcat does not implement the specification!
Kind regards
Guido

Betreff: RE: http errors
Hi,
You will find a full copy of the **default** web.xml in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/.
What is the default web.xml --> Extract from the user guide (which you will
find at TOMCAT_HOME\doc\uguide\tomcat_ug.html: recommended reading)
[A detailed description of web.xml and the web application structure
(including directory structure and configuration) is available in chapters
9, 10 and 14 of the <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/> Servlet API
Spec and we are not going to write about it.
There is however a small Tomcat related "feature" that is related to
web.xml. Tomcat lets the user define defaultw eb.xml values for all context
by putting a default web.xml file in the conf directory. When constructing a
new Context, Tomcat uses the default web.xml file as the base configuration
and the application specific web.xml (the one located in the application's
WEB-INF/web.xml), only overwrite these defaults.]
So if you want the error pages to apply to all webapps then you put the
error page tags in the default web.xml like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
<!-- IMPORTANT: all the tags that were already in the default web.xml file
should remain in the file -->
<error-page>
<exception-type>javax.servlet.TryagainException</exception-type>
<location>/errors/TryAgain.html</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
<error-code>503</error-code>
<location>/errors/TryAgain.html</location>
</error-page>
</web-app>
(I assume that you have renamed the directories and files accordingly:
errors directory and TryAgain.html file are only examples).
If you only want the error pages to apply to a particular webapp then you
should create a web.xml file that you place in
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourWebApp/WEB-INF. This file should look like this:
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
<error-page>
<exception-type>javax.servlet.TryagainException</exception-type>
<location>/errors/TryAgain.html</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
<error-code>503</error-code>
<location>/errors/TryAgain.html</location>
</error-page>
</web-app>
I hope this works.

Hi,
Using <error-page> elements in the web.xml, you can program web applications
to handle HTTP errors and exceptions.
The deployment description below makes the container send the
/errors/TryAgain.html file if either a TryAgainExeption or the
HttpServletResponse.SC_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE error code occurs:
<web-app>
<!-- Servlet definitions -->
<error-page>
<exception-type>javax.servlet.TryagainException</exception-type>
<location>/errors/TryAgain.html</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
<error-code>503</error-code>
<location>/errors/TryAgain.html</location>
</error-page>
I hope this helps.
