tomcat4, how to setup error pages for stopped application
Dear tomcat users,
I have stopped my web application using /manager/stop?path=/mywebapp
Now, if anybody accesses my web application they get error 404 like
this:
HTTP Status 404 - /mywebapp/index.jsp
The requested resource (/mywebapp/index.jsp) is not available.
I would like to set up error page explaining that webapp has been
stopped for maintanance. Where sould i put error page definition
and error pages?
with very best wishes,
Taavi

Thanks, but if I add this to mywebapp then it keeps telling that:
HTTP Status 404 - /mywebapp/index.jsp
The requested resource (/mywebapp/index.jsp) is not available
... that seems to be normal behaviour (since it is stopped). Once
I start the application using manager/start this error-page
definition you suggested starts working.
Is it possible to catch errors of a stopped web application? I
have tried to put error-page definition into root context but
it did not help.
with very best wishes,
Taavi

Add this in mywebapp/WEB_INF/web.xml,
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/error-page.jsp</location>
</error-page>
here error-page.jsp can be any page telling your message that the web site
is down or the more popular "Under Construction".

There is no current mechanism to do this -- the error page mechanism
described in the Servlet Specification works only "inside" a web app, not
"outside".
The best way to make sure this gets addressed is to submit an Enhancement
Request via the bug tracking system:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/
under product category "Tomcat 4". Under the "Severity" option, select
"Enhancement" because this isn't a bug, it's a feature request.
