http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13924 error-page directive does not always work correctly Summary: error-page directive does not always work correctly Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.12 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Under certain conditions, the default exception report is shown, instead of the location configured in the web.xml deployment descriptor. Unfortunately, the unit tests included with the tester application in the Tomcat sources test for neither of the two conditions under which the error occurs: 1) If the web.xml declares it wants to catch a subtype of ServletException, like this: <error-page> <exception- type>org.apache.tester.TesterServletException </exception-type> <location>/ErrorPage04</location> </error-page> and the exception is thrown from a servlet, like this: throw new TesterServletException (new Tester2Exception("ErrorPage031 Threw Exception")); then we are not redirected to the given location, but the default Exception Report is shown instead. However, if the same exception is thrown from a JSP, like this <% if( true ) throw new org.apache.tester.TesterServletException( new org.apache.tester.Tester2Exception("TesterPage031.jsp Threw Exception")); %> then we are redirected correctly. 2) Conversely, if the web.xml declares it wants to catch an exception embedded in a ServletException, like this: <error- page> <exception-type>org.apache.tester.TesterException</exception-type> <location>/ErrorPage04</location> </error-page> and the exception is thrown from a JSP, like this <% if( true ) throw new javax.servlet.ServletException( new org.apache.tester.TesterException("TesterPage03.jsp Threw Exception")); %> then we are not redirected to the given location, but the default Exception Report is shown instead. All this can be reproduced in the tester application: I have written - 2 Test pages TesterPage03.jsp and TesterPage031.jsp - the classes org.apache.tester.Tester2Exception.java, org.apache.tester.TesterServletException.java - a servlet org.apache.tester.ErrorPage031.java, and included the relevant configuration in the web.xml. Is there any way for me to attach my code to this bug report for you to use? I am using JDK 1.3.1. The behavior is independent of whether the web.xml conforms to the web- app_2_3.dtd or the web-app_2_2.dtd -- Sebastian Millies -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
