common error page in struts2 application
Hi,
What is the way to provide a common error page in a struts2 application? and
automatically redirect to the error page when errors occur?
Thanks

I think you can catch it, then do log.error(e.getMessage(),e); and then throw e;

Subject: Re: common error page in struts2 application
Sorry I am a little confused. Basically I need to be able to log the
message by doing log.error(e.getMessage(), e); However, if i catch the
error and put it in the catch block then the global error page does not come
up (I am assuming because the exception is caught?)
If I do not catch the exception, then the error page shows up, however, I
have no way to do log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
After reading,
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.6/docs/exception-configuration.html I though I
can have a chainAction so something like.
<package...>
<global-results>
<result name="Exception" type="chain">
<param name="actionName">ErrorPage</param>
<param name="namespace">/error</param>
</result>
</global-results>
<global-exception-mappings>
<exception-mapping exception="java.lang.Exception"
result="Exception"/>
</global-exception-mappings>
<action name="selectionPage" class="reports.ReportSelection">
<result>/reports/SelectionPage.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
<package name="secure" namespace="/error">
<action name="ErrorPage" class="com.myErrorClass">
<result>errorpage.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
So finally, if i do not catch the error, the control will go to
com.myErrorClass. Will I be able to do log.error(e.getMessage(), e); in
that class?? I dont think it will be available as originally the error was
thrown in reports.ReportSelection class.
I'd appreciate any help to guide me in right direction.
Thanks

What I do, instead of chaining the global error result to an error action,
is I use ognl in my error.jsp page to call a method and pass the exception
so it can be logged etc. In my base action class I have a
notifyAdmin(Exception) method.
In error.jsp:
<%-- Dummy expression to notify the admin --%>
<s:if test="notifyAdmin(exception)"></s:if>

will the global exception not recognize the exception if I am catching it??
I need to catch it because I want to put it in the logs. However, in my
example, if i am catching the exception then I am seeing that the error page
defined with global-results is not coming up.
do the global exception mappings only work for 'non caught' exceptions?

You could create your own base package and extend from that. Package
extension is also documented on the Struts 2 wiki (briefly):

Re: common error page in struts2 application
Posted by Bhaarat Sharma <bh...@gmail.com>.
one last question:
lets say my mapping comes out to be this
<global-results>
<result name="error">/chapterFour/Error.jsp</result>
</global-results>
<global-exception-mappings>
<exception-mapping exception="java.lang.Exception"
result="error" />
</global-exception-mappings>
so will i add that in each package in my struts.xml. I have over 20 right
now.
Is there a way to just add it somewhere so that all 20 package mappings see
it?
most of the packing are using struts-default

Make sure you set error-page in your web.xml as well. Exceptions
mapped to global results are good for errors that occur in app code,
but you should also consider things like 404s.
