getting error code in pagenotfound.jsp

[hasan khan]

my web.xml looks like this

<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/pagenotfound.jsp</location>
</error-page>

<error-page>
<error-code>403</error-code>
<location>/pagenotfound.jsp</location>
</error-page>


i have created a common page for 2 different error code.
i want to show different message for different error code.
in pagenotfound.jsp how can i find that what error code cause this page to be called ?

Read the "javax.servlet.error.status_code" request attribute in your error page. This should be either 403 or 404.

In the real world, the web servers have pre-defined error pages for the HTTP Status codes between 300-400 and 400-500.
