How to stop Tomcat supplying HTML for statues
I have a server which is being used only for XML servlets. I would like to send back error responses either as an XML error or, in the case of a non-200 status code just to send back the status code and a single line text message. I set the status (which seems to work) and the text, which again seems to be sent back on the response header, but I also get a bunch of HTML text which gets in the way of processing the error text which I want to do using XmlHttpRequest. I have not included any ErrorPage tags in my web.xml nor are there any in the global web.xml. I am running Tomcat 5.5 Thanks in advance David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, this is the reverse of what I want. I want to STOP it sending an HTML page, rather than the error-page tag to set it.

Re: How to stop Tomcat supplying HTML for statues
Then make the error page a jsp which clears the stream and prints what you want. If your servlet already prints what you need, then force the buffer to be flushed so that the response is committed and an error page is not shown. -Tim David Goodenough wrote: No, this is the reverse of what I want.

Re: How to stop Tomcat supplying HTML for statues
Maybe we are talking at cross purposes. I will try to explain what I am trying to achieve. When I have a non-200 response ALL I want to send back is the status code and the message inserted with the sendError. Nothing else. Currently I just do a sendError, should I also write a zero length buffer to the OutputStream and flush it?

Re: How to stop Tomcat supplying HTML for statues
Don't use sendError. - Call response.setStatus(int). - Calculate the size of your body text - Call setContentLength(value from previous step) - Send the message in the output stream - Profit! ;) -Tim David Goodenough wrote: Maybe we are talking at cross purposes.
