Well at first I didn't think so, but now I am wondering....
After adding some more instrumentation I have determined that I am
inadvertently setting the status to 200.
I was replicating the problem with this servlet:
package opendap.experiments;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
public class SendErrorTest extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
try {
System.out.println("Calling
HttpServletResponse.sendError(404)");
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
System.out.println("HttpServletResponse.sendError(404)
returned.");
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
And a simple document service servlet:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>docs</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/docs/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
With this error-page:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/docs/error404.html</location>
</error-page>
I added some instrumentation and looked at the logs and saw that when
the sendError() method is called in the SendErrorTest servlet the call
returns immediately. And is followed by a the docs servlet receiving a
request for the error document, which since it is successfully
returning a document sets the HTTP status to 200.
Is sendError() using a redirect?
Is there a way to set the value of the <location> element in the error-
page declaration so that tomcat just grabs the file from the context
directory?
The java servlet spec (2.4) says:
"If the sendError method is called on the response, the container
consults the
list of error page declarations for the Web application that use the
status-code
syntax and attempts a match. If there is a match, the container
returns the resource
as indicated by the location entry."
So what does "the container returns the resource as indicated by the
location entry" mean for tomcat?
Is there an example of a design pattern you can point me to?
Thanks,
Nathan
