I don't think you can do that. After Tomcat accepts the HTTP
connection and decides whether to respond, it's too late to pretend
there's no server there. The user's web browser displays a different
error message for no server (something like "can't establish a
connection") vs. server timeout (something like "the server took too
long to respond") or dropping the connection ("the connection was
reset").So you might as well just customize the 404 error page to say "There's no server here" - it'd fool people just as well. :-) Or just return an empty error page. -- Len On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 19:26, Song Thuy Nguyen <programm...@biaqua.de> wrote: > Hello, > > > > usually you will get a "The requested resource /XYZ is not available" > response when you call an > unavailable web service on Apache Tomcat.
