Brian: The below code is exactly how I do and it works peachy for me.
You're just telling Struts to handle any exceptions thrown from an Action by forwarding the request to /appError.jsp, and using the system.error message for the page. Good way to handle generic errors that aren't caught somewhere else in your Actions, in my view. dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian McSweeney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 5:49 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: how to handle unknown exceptions/errors > > > I dug a bit deeper into this and found that in struts-1.1 > there's a global-exceptions facility in struts-config.xml > Where you can declaratively handle exceptions for example: > > <global-exceptions> > <exception key="system.error" > type="java.lang.Exception" > path="/appError.jsp"/> > </global-exceptions> > > > But I'm still a bit confused.
