Hi, For days I've been searching the Internet for clues as to how to solve this problem. I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3 connected to Apache 1.3.19 through mod_jk. The situation is as follows: when Apache comes up with a 404 error we're using Apache's ErrorDocument to pass control on to a new program which searches the files availbale to the web server for possible file name matches according to certain criterias. These possible matches are returned as links in the 404 error page. We used to do this by pointing the ErrorDocument 404 to a PHP page. With PHP this is simple, as we can make use of Apache's environment variables to figure out the original request URI. A new customer is interested in the same functionality, but wants us to use servlet instead of PHP. My Apache server, foo.bar, has ErrorDocument 404 /myServlet/errorHandler in its httpd.conf. When a client requests http://foo.bar/foobar.html and foobar.html doesn't exist, a 404 error occurs. Because of the ErrorDocument directive in httpd.conf, Apache invokes the errorHandler servlet. However, no traces of the original request to http://foo.bar/foobar.html is available to the servlet. Servlets run out of Apache's process space and therefore has no access to Apache's environment variables, so we saw this one coming. However, in order to search for likely candidates to be returned with the error page, this information needs to be made available to the servlet in some way or another. Anyone got any clue as to how we may solve this situation? Is it possible to pass some of the environment variables as paramters in the ErrorDocument directive?
