Re: Customizing Tomcat error page

[Rick Wong]

Unfortunately, the <exception-type> does not catch return code.  I 
already have one <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type> 
which is a good umbrella for all exception an alike.  However, it does 
not catch 404, for example.  It seems like Tomcat catches it and handles 
it separately.  Due to the modula nature of my application, I have > 40 
web applications.  I really don't look forward to managing a long list 
of <error-page> for each error code in 40+ web.xml files.

I wonder if I can use a filter to catch the setting of a status code > 
200 and does a page forward there ....

Hi,
You can use <exception-type> to catch a broad class of exceptions (such
as java.lang.Exception for example ;)  Or maybe
javax.servlet.ServletException).  If you use the error-code approach,
you have to list them individually, which you're right is verbose and
time-consuming.  There might be a visual web.xml editor out there that
can help you.

Subject: Customizing Tomcat error page
Hi,
I am trying to replace the default Tomcat error page for my web
applications.  I understand that I can specify <error-page> in the
web.xml deployment descriptor, but that would require me to do that for
every single error code.  Looking at the HTTP response code, there is a
potentially long list of code that I might be interested in handling.
Is there a simple way to trap these errors and redirect to my specific
error page?
Thanks,
