Tomcat overwrites error response body

[Anurag Chakravarti <ac...@cs.columbia.edu>]

Hi,

Tomcat sends back a default error HTML page, even when I don't want it
to. I want my servlet to send its own error response body. I am doing
the following in my servlet doPut method.

java.io.PrintWriter pr = resp.getWriter();
pr.println(e.getErrorCode().serialize());
resp.sendError(e.getCode());

This does not work. Tomcat sends me a HTML page which I don't want.
What am I missing here.

Thanks
-Anurag

Don't use sendError() - use setStatus(). Also - se the status first as to 
ensure the response is not committed before you send th body of the page. 
Also - once the page is done - try and close the resonse to ensure any error 
handling by tomcat is not done.

Don't use sendError but setStatus. sendError does the complete error
page and you can only change its content via web.xml.
