Yes are correct in stating that the 404 error is not an exception... it is
simply file not found error and must be handled seperatly from exception
errors.
I am currently exploring the exception error handling/page myself.
You can get the URL of the page as follows:
In the page you have the error, you put:
<% request.setAttribute("sourcePage", request.getRequestURI()); %>
then in your exception error page defined in web.xml (JSP) you get the URI
by:
<% request.getAttribute("sourcePage"); %>
You would usually write the error URL in your log file for debugging allong
with the rest of the exception info.
There are probably many beans available on the web that will do this quit
nicely, but where is the fun in that?
