Re: displaying customized error page in tomcat 5.5.12
Hi Tim, Thanks for that explanation. We are not using any web server, so, I cannot configure in httpd file. I resolved the problem using the same error-page tag. I have placed my custom error page in webapps/ROOT directory. Thanks for your support.

RE: displaying customized error page in tomcat 5.5.12
That will work, but only if the root (/) context is available and running. This may or may not solve some or all of your problem(s).
