Please please help ! > Excuse my naiv question, but if I understand this correctly then the 503 error is returned to the browser (client) by the Webserver due to some kind of problem between the Webserver and the Appserver, in this case TomCat. If I had a servlet that sent of a request to some kind of other server and receive in return the 503 Status Code then that would mean that the webserver that I sent the request to is having problems talking to the Appserver behind it. Did I understand this correctly? The reason I'm asking is because I had a similar problem in one of my apps not to long ago. > > Thanks in Advance, Fred > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > >5xx errors are generated by the server when it realises that it cannot > >process a request or something prevented it from handling the request > >correctly.
