----------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> ----------------------------- If you want a way to just pass your pages through then you should either send a redirect or just return a generated page. e.g. before writing anything to the output stream call: res.sendRedirect("my error page location"); If you just want to include some unformatted text with your response you can send: res.sendError(res.SC_FORBIDDEN, "some text"); //this should get logged by the server or res.setStatus(res.SC_FORBIDDEN, "some text"); // shouldn't get logged by the server. You can also call either of those without the message text. Either way your user will see whatever the server wants to give as an error page. (Which, I believe, is configurable on most servers.)
