Not sure I totally understood your response, but I looked up the directive you mentioned. Here's what I learned:
Purpose ------- - Indicates whether or not the current page can act as the error page for another JSP page Notes ----- 1. Use this for emergency backup only; explicitly handle as many exceptions as possible 2. The web.xml file can designate general error pages rather than page-specific ones like this According to item #2, I shouldn't have to do this. Furthermore, this means each JSP within my application needs the following: <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %> This is what I'm trying to avoid. I would prefer to only specify this via a single configuration setting in the web.xml.

If the exception, occurs in Java code (i.e. non-JSP), the error page works fine. But if it occurs in the JSP, I see a stack trace on the screen instead of forwarding to the error JSP. Here's the setting I have in web.xml file: <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type> <location>/jsp/error.jsp</location> </error-page> This should handle every type of exception, right? In my JSP, I'm intentionally creating a null pointer exception. I also tried adding the following to my web.xml file and it still didn't work: <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.NullPointerException</exception-type> <location>/jsp/error.jsp</location> </error-page> Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks, JOHN HOHLEN --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
