I don't understand. :( I don't know if this is related to the original
question, but I have this in web.xml:
<error-page>
<exception-type>javax.servlet.ServletException</exception-type>
<location>/WEB-INF/jsp/exceptions/ServletException.jsp</location>
</error-page>
(in the appropriate place, at the bottom just above </web-app>)
When this code executes:
if ( report == null || report.equals( "" ) ) {
log.debug( "doGet: no data! Need to forward to an error page." );
throw new ServletException( "No data found in HOLD file" );
}
I _still_ get this in the browser:
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented
it from fulfilling this request.
exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: No data found in HOLD file
at edu.asu.vpia.webapp.PDFServlet.doGet(PDFServlet.java:94)
Yansheng Lin suggested using Struts declarative exception handling, but
this is a plain-old Servlet, not a Struts Action.
The same <error-page> tag works fine in a different webapp, I'm at a
loss as to why it fails in this one. The JSP is present in the location
given in the tag.
What am I missing, why do I get a Tomcat-generated error page and not
the JSP I specified?
