Hi gabby,
I don't know what do you mean to say by scrollabale table. But if you are looking for something like javaranch box then i have made a file which is very much similar to this. Only difference is here you specifies rows which you cannot enter more than 15 but may be you can get some idea from my code. I have used the table to make database connectivity. In that i i have shows all the datas in table and no matter how much rows i insert the size of the table keeps on increasing. Anyway here is my code.

Only you have to do is make an error page which will check the errors and handle it.
Here is my error.jsp
<%@ page isErrorPage="true" import="java.io.*" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>This is my error </TITLE>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="EditPlus">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="beige">
<h1 align=center>We have an error message here <%=request.getRemoteHost();%></h1>
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td>Exception</td>
<td><b><%=exception%></b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Message</td>
<td><b><%=exception.getMessage()%></b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Localized Messege</td>
<td><%=exception.getLocalizedMessage()%></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stack Trace</td>
<td><pre>
<%
StringWriter sw =new StringWriter();
PrintWriter pw=new PrintWriter(sw);
exception.printStackTrace(pw);
out.println(sw);
%></pre>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<center><a href="javascript:history.back(0)">Please Enter your values again</a></center>

I hope this helps you in solving your problem.
