With nothing configured for errors, I get a Tomcat error page:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it
from fulfilling this request.
exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: blah, blah...
...
root cause
com.example.DAOException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: blah, blah...
...
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: blah, blah...
The code that causes it looks like this:
try {
...
} catch ( Exception ex ) {
throw new DAOException( ex );
}
Can someone explain why, if I put this in web.xml,
<error-page>
<exception-type>javax.servlet.ServletException</exception-type>
<location>/WEB-INF/jsp/error/exception.jsp</location>
</error-page>
it does NOT display the .jsp and instead shows the same thing as above with
all the stack traces?
I also tried configuring it for java.lang.Exception, but no luck there,
either.
I _can_ get a good error page if I configure it for the 'root cause'
DAOException, I'm just confused as to why I can't trap the ServletException.
Thank you,
