Blank screen on error

Hello all,

We've occasional seen the messages on this list about a blank screen that is returned when there is some error in a pipeline or resource, and often times (but not quite always) this is while running an XSP. So what I'd like to know is, why does the "handle-error" resource not get invoked in these cases? The blank screen is useless for debugging and the logs don't always say what's wrong. Is there some way to fix this or is is being worked on. 

Also, just as a side-question: Is there anybody else out there working with projects that use Xindice, AXIS, and Cocoon together? I'm using a webservice built with AXIS and Xindice (no I'm NOT using the xmldb pseudo-protocol in Cocoon) and invoking the service with the XSP soap-logicsheet. I've spent MONTHS hunting down little bugs having to do with the integration of these three and I was wondering what sort of mileage or lack thereof others were experiencing. Thanks.

/S

Are you sure it's not just that an action failed gracefully, returned null
and no
generator was found in the sitemap outside the action?  i.e.,

<map:match pattern="foo">
  <map:act type="someActionThatFails">
    <map:generate>
    ...
  </map:act>
</map:match>

If that action fails, a blank screen will result.

HTH,
Geoff Howard
