My reasoning was that Apache doesn't catch the 503, but it does catch a 500..
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ------------------------------------ ... ErrorDocument 500 /notice.html ErrorDocument 503 /notice.html ... ------------------------------------ The 500 is caught correctly, but I always end up seeing the tomcat generated error page for a 503. I guess this could be a mod_jk or apache issue if you are saying that tomcat is sending the right status code. Questions: what version of tomcat you running? What version of apache? What connector? (jk/jk2/jk_proxy) Thanks for your input, -Rick -----Original Message----- From: Hassan Schroeder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:55 PM Posted To: Tomcat Dev Conversation: Possible to send 503 status over JK?

I just stopped a webapp with the manager, tried to load a page, and got (using LiveHttpHeaders) the Tomcat 503 page with the expected status 503 header. So there wouldn't seem to be a problem, eh? -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
