no objects on error pages

[Cristian Southall <Cr...@jdv.com>]

Hi All,

I'm using Tomcat 3.1 to deploy a web application that includes an error page (error.jsp) that performs a number of logging functions. 

When I request force_error.jsp (a file that simply divides one by zero to create an ArithmeticException) it appears that the servlet engine throws the exception to error.jsp. Unfortunately, the WebUser object (a custom object I use to hold information about a user) that I bind to the Session can not be found either  bound to the Session or Request objects in error.jsp.

Does anybody know why I can't access my own objects from an error page? Furthermore, does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can make sure a JSP error page has access to objects I bind to a user's Session?

Thanks very much,
Cristian Southall

session timeouts?

I know in ASP you can do this in the global ASA file:

sub Session_onEnd
	session.abandon
	response.redirect "/logged_out.asp"
end sub

how can you do this in JSP?
