Hello, Usually exception that being thrown by the VIEW(JSP) are rendering related exception. This could be tags/Scriptlet that access resource, JavaBeans, fails. Meaning the Resource is not there. And when these thing happen with composite view thing became A bit tricky. First of all, within the container, the layout, of the composite view You don't where exception might be thrown. Second, the page directive for 'errorPage' Can only be set at the outter most container, the layou, and not within any of its Contained JSP. Since, you never know when response has been committed to the client Browser. And if response has already committed to the clien browser, any attemp to Forward to a different resource is an IllegalStateException. A quick solution to your Problem is to only have the page directive for your JSP is in the outer most container, The layout.
My approach to handling the front-end exception in Struts1+ is having a sub-module for Handling exception with a set of custom or generic ExceptionHandler, with action mapping That will capture the exception, do exception profiling or anything neccessarry, and use Struts declarative exception handling to map it to a user friendly View for displaying Specific error pages. This has to work with the Web application error mapping in the Web.xml deployment descriptor, to map different error-code and exception to the right Action mapping in your exception sub-module that will handle the exception. I think This is a much cleaner way to haddle exception since it promote encapsulation of exception Handling into one central place, the sub-module, that can be manage easily and consistent Through out the entire application. Plus, exception handler can be reused in different Web application with the entire enterprise.

Now whenever an exception is thrown on the "menu" tile I want to goto JSP Error Page. What I get instead is this exception: [Exception in:/main-menu.jsp] reset() failed - data has already been sent to client java.lang.IllegalStateException: reset() failed - data has already been sent to client. Could you please help me with this one? What do I need to fix this problem. By the way "menu.jsp" contains <%@ page errorPage="ErrorPage.jsp" %> directive. And currently if there is an exception on "layout.jsp" Error Page does show up with appropriate error message.
