tag error-page web.xml

[Isaias C. Barroso]

Hi all,
I would like that my <error-page> was a Servlet, but don't work with Tomcat 4.1
I have a web deployment file with this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ErrorPageServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ErrorPageServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ErrorPageServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Error</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
<location>/Error</location>
</error-page>
If i enter on browser : http://localhost:8080/cert/Error this work fine.
But if occur any Exception, the page that is show is a default error page of Tomcat.
If i change a location for a jsp page work fine too.
How to work with servlet not .jsp?
Thanks

try to set in your <location> a direct root related path to your error-servlet, not a mapped url-pattern.
does it help?

I will go try others possibilities.

hmm. did you type the full version of your web.xml file? may be there is a tags' order problem in your web deployment descriptor?

Hi,
Follow the web.xml

Thanks

in <servlet> you write
<servlet-class>ErrorPageServlet</servlet-class>
but in <error-page> you have
<location>/cert/servlet/ErrorPageServlet</location>
the location of ErrorPageServlet in these cases is not the same.
