Probably not in the way you mean. There's no javax.servlet* API that gives you the information directly. You could open up web.xml yourself (your servlet has access to it through ServletContext.getResource*) and parse the XML, looking for <error-page> elements. That should probably be portable, but it's kind of ugly. Easier would be to require that whoever sets up web.xml also set up some <context-param>s that tell which error-pages are declared. -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
