This happened to us when we actually had an exception on the exception
handling page (or a page that the exception handling redirects to or
forwards).
We had to make our error page very simple.

Subject: Recursion error in error-page
<DISCLAIMER>I have extensively searched the list archives and the sun jsp
forum first</DISCLAIMER>
Hi,
We have set up a number of Jsp error pages specific to each of the custom
exceptions that we throw.
I am unable to get the custom error pages to work.
When my error jsp pages try to access the implicit exception object, the
following error appears in the browser:
Recursive error in error-page calling for /error/JspException.jsp, see the
application log for details.
Even with the standard jspexception it doesnt work.
The tag handler throws this jspException
-------------------------------
throw new JspException("" + thisTagName + "]The object XXXXX is null." );
-------------------------------
In the web.xml, I have the following:
-------------------------------
<error-page>
<error-code>500</error-code>
<exception-type>javax.servlet.jsp.JspException</exception-type>
<location>/error/JspException.jsp</location>
</error-page>
-------------------------------
The error page appears if I take out any reference to the implicit exception
object.
But as soon as I put any reference to it in, it breask with the error shown
above.
This is a basic version of the jsp. It fails beacuse of the
exception.toString()
-------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<%@ page isErrorPage="true" %>
<%@ page import="ilaunch.exception.*", javax.servlet.jsp.*, javax.servlet.*
%></HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="white">
<H2>JspException</H2>
<%= exception.toString() %>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-------------------------------
I have never been able to access the exception object from the jsp error
page.
Is it just me, or is it a feature of Orion. I am tempted to test my .ear
file on another app server, but I dont have the time.
The mapping within the web.xml file seems to work ok.
If I can't resolve this at all, I'll have to revert to inserting attributes
into the request object, which is hardly elegant.
Any assistance with this would be very gratefully appreciated.
