custom 404s from a servlet ?

[yhs <yh...@altavista.com>]

Hi guys,
  does anyone know how i can modify tomcat's configuration files so my 404's can be invoked
from a servlet ? i.e. i want http://localhost:8080/someweirdlink?x=foo to be redirected
to http://localhost:8080/servlet/my404servlet?x=foo if someweidrlink doesnt exist...
similarly if servlet abc doesnt exist http://localhost:8080/servlet/abc should also
be redirected to http://localhost:8080/servlet/my404servlet ...
I'd like to keep everything else the same..i.e. jsps. html and servlets all remaining
the same but all site wide 404's in every directory be redirected to the same servlet.
im running tomcat 3.2.3...
Thanks.

I'm sure that other people are going to flame this thread as off-topic, but
the answer is to call

response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND,"someweirdlink doesn't
exist");
return;

yep - have a look at <error-page> (I think) in web.xml...  The servlet
spec outlines its use (http://java.sun.com/products/servlet).
