Redirecting 404,500, etc.

[Carlos Pita <cp...@tycdigital.com>]

Hi!
    I have a simple question: is there a configuration directive that says
Tomcat to redirect 404, 500, etc error codes to a customized output page
(like the Apache's ErrorDocument directive). I'm using Tomcat 3.2.1 with
Apache 1.3.12, and although I could sucesfully configure Apache to do this,
requests which pass through to Tomcat don't have the desired behaviour.

Thank you in advance,
    Carlos

Hello,

In your web.xml, you should add the <error-page> tag.
For example:

<error-page>
 <error-code>404<error-code/>
 <location>/404.html<location/>
</error-page>

This is well explain in the Java Servlet Specification , in the
Deployment desciptor section.
(see www.javasoft.com)
