If you just want custom error pages for Apache, check out the following snippet from httpd.conf:
# Customizable error responses come in three flavors: # 1) plain text 2) local redirects 3) external redirects # # Some examples: #ErrorDocument 500 "The server made a boo boo." #ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html #ErrorDocument 404 "/cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl" #ErrorDocument 402 http://www.example.com/subscription_info.html Quoting Michael Mendelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Thanks Kris, > > This works fine if the error page is another Tomcat context, but I was > wondering > if there was an elegant way to set this up in the httpd.conf or server.xml, > without the need for an error-handling jsp to do the rerouting. > > I will probably just go that route, since it won't be difficult to write, > but > further ideas are appreciated. > > Michael Mendelson > In Town Consulting, LLC > www.intowndenver.com > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Kris Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 7:18 AM > > To: Tomcat Users List > > Subject: Re: reference to external error-page > > > > > > Well, you can't do it directly with an error page, the <location> > > element's body > > is required to contain an application-relative resource.
