Just messing with this myself. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the Servlet/JSP spec or the container (I'm using WLS 6.1.2), but I would have expected that an exception thrown from a servlet would get dumped into the request. It looks like you need to hang on to the exception and explicitly add it to the request yourself. Here's the basic idea:
import javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext; ... ServletException exc; ... request.setAttribute(PageContext.EXCEPTION, exc); throw(exc); > I am using the error-page elements in the web.xml file. It looks like this. > > <error-page> > <exception-type>javax.servlet.ServletException</exception-type> > <location>/errorpage.jsp</location> > </error-page> > > When a ServletException is thrown in my Action class it is being forwarded > to the errorpage.jsp correctly. However, the page is not finding an > exception that should be specified in the request attribute. I have used > this page successfully in the past when specifying the error page at the > jsp level. > > Has anyone seen this behavior in the past? > > thanks > > Jeremy -- Kris Schneider <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> D.O.Tech <http://www.dotech.com/> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
