I'm also trying to catch the DeadlineExceededException in order to display a custom error page. Announcing the error-Page in web.xml for 500 status does not work for too long running requests. So I opend a try-catch-block like this in my jsp-Page:
<%@ page session="false" %><% try { // do sth long running } catch (com.google.apphosting.api.DeadlineExceededException ex) { %> <html><body>This is my own error</body</html> <% } %> Now I'm experiencing HardDeadlineExceededErrors in the logfile. In the API-Docs http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/com/google/apphosting/api/DeadlineExceededException.html is written, that after catching a DeadlineExceededException there would be little time to do some cleanup etc. But it seems to be too little to display something on the page that caused the long running request. Is there any workaround for that? Henry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
