I'm having problems configuring error pages in Tomcat. I've written a servlet called ErrorHandler that should handle any exceptions thrown by my servlets. Inside the web.xml of my web application I specified :
<error-page> <exception-type>javax.servlet.ServletException</exception-type> <location>/ErrorHandler</location> </error-page>
This does not work, and Tomcat still handles any exceptions thorwn by my servlets. However, when I change the configuration to :
<error-page> <error-code>500</error-code> <location>/500.html</location> </error-page>
This works. I tested my ErrorHandler servlet alone, and that seems to work as well.
My question is : did I do something wrong ? Did I specify the right <exception-type> to handle 500 errors ?
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.18, Apache 1.3.27 and IBM Java2 SDK 1.3.1
Any help will be greatly appreciated !
