error-page element in the web.xml HOWTO

[Allan Kamau <hu...@yahoo.com>]

I'd like to configure an error page for my entire
context.
I've gone through the web-app_2_2.dtd and came up with
the following solution which I added to my contexts
web.xml file

	<error-page>
		<error-code>404</error-code>
		<location>http://localhost:8080/</location>
	</error-page>


Now he context is been deployed but cannot be run
indicating some problem.
How can I solve this error or where am I going wrong?
 
Thank you.
Allan Kamau.

This is not a valid <location> value.  You must specify the
context-relative path to a page *within* your app that should be displayed
instead, and the path must start with a '/' character.
