Doubt with error page config in DD

[raghu dubey]

Hi,

I may be trying to relate things to Core java here, but still I have a doubt.

If I have configured 2 error pages using the <exception-type> element, the first one is a Exception, and the second one is an ArithmeticException error page.

Does their order matters like it does in handling exceptions in java classes?

I mean do i need to have more specific error pages(say for ArithmeticException) in the DD than the general ones like for Exception object.

The first error page element that matches the exception is called. Yes order is important.

Hi,

The order of exception in error-page is not important. The closest match will be selected.

Thanks

I am confused a little.

But I was reading the Miklai Zalkin's notes and it says the closest match wins, so order should not be needed.
