Giving access to an html file in tomcat
Hey,
I have added the following to my web.xml of one of my web apps:
<error-page>
<error-code>403</error-code>
<location>/error/error.htm</location>
</error-page>
When I try and test this (go to a page I do not have access to that will throw a 403 error), i get the Internet Explorer error page that says "You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied" and not my page (and not even a tomcat page).
Am I missing some configuration somewhere?

IE has some (un)helpfull option which translates error codes to a self
generated page. If I recall correctly, it shows the correct page if the size
of the error page is greater then some KB (8 KB?).
So, you have 2 options: disable the option in IE or generate larger error
pages.
Regards,
Cees.

AFAIK the page needs to be > 1024 byte. If they are smaller, IE replaces
them.

IE uses some voodoo logic to decide when to show it's own error page or not. Anytime it get's something other than a HTTP 200 or
302, it looks at the HTML returned with it, and if it "seems" to be a well-formed html doc, and/or exceeds a certain length, then it
will show that HTML, else it decides to show it's own "Friendly HTTP Error page" ( which IMHO is completely useless to experienced
and novice users alike, but that's beside the point ).
You can turn off this behaviour in Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->Browsing->Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages
And this will at least show you exactly what you are returning to the browser.
