Global custom 503 error page

[Veit Guna <ve...@gmx.de>]

Hi.

Is it really true, that one can't create at least a global error page
for 503 errors in tomcat? I understand, that a webapp that is stopped,
can't serve it's own custom 503 error page. Sounds clear. But a general
one should be possible?!

I'm using tomcat behind apache and if tomcat isn't started at all, I can
use the custom 503 page from apache. That works. But if one webapp is
stopped, I get the default tomcat 503 page.

Any hints?

regards,
Veit

There's no easy way. The 503 error page is hard-coded in
org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve. You can replace that class with
your own implementation, specified by the <Host> attribute
errorReportValveClass. (I haven't tried that myself, I just read about it in
the Tomcat docs.)
