Creating a standard page to handle Error 500

2005-05-26 Thread David Johnson
Hey all
 I recently added the following to my JSP pages to force them not to be 
cached:
 % response.setHeader(Pragma,no-cache);% 
% response.setHeader(Cache-Control,no-store);% 
% response.setDateHeader(Expires,-1);% 
 the result is that if the user hits back then reload they get an error 
500. How can I create a page that will handle any error 500 that comes up? 
Essentially, I just want to display a message that tells the user to 
re-login..
 thoughts?

Web.xml

error-page
  error-code 500 /error-code
  location /where/you/want/to/go /location
/error-page

you can do redirections inside your location page, or however you want
to set it up, point it at an action or whatever.

Re: Creating a standard page to handle Error 500

2005-05-26 Thread Andrew Thorell
Perhaps the community can answer that question for you. I use the
error-page 500 as a catch all for undefined / unexpected errors. I'm
sure there's a way to do it, I just haven't done it before and can't
tell you off the top of my head. You can probably point the Error at
an action which can point to a tiles definition. I'm just getting
started with tiles, so I'm not sure... let me know how it turns out.

My first test would be something like the following: Point the Error
to an action which pulls all the parameters out of the request object
and see what's there. If nothing is there, you may want to modify your
code to catch all exceptions and put the stack trace in the session
scope as a bean and pass it that way, parse it in the action your
Error 500 page points to. But whether that works or if there is a
better was is speculation.

Hope this helped,

 Can I point it at a tiles-definition? I have one called page.error 
   
 Also, how to I display the details of the error in my error page?

That error is tell you that you placed the error-page tag in the wrong
section. The error tells you the correct order you need to put all the
tags in.

Inside the StrutsServlet's doGet method

RequestDispatcher dispatcher = null;

request.getRequestDispatcher(/err/SQL.jsp);

try {

//  operation which causes 500
}
catch (Exception se) {
//forwards to a login.jsp
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}

Where does one find this to modify the doGet method? I've yet to deal

 can intercept your ActionServlet's doGet or doPost method before process

 If you want simple follow the instructions for supplying web.xml location

However you inherit from ActionServlet
If your new class BaseServlet inherits from ActionServlet I would put the 
code into BaseServlet
