You could try an HttpURLConnection from the client which will allow the
servlet to process the error as if it were talking to a browser. The the
client could get the response code to determine if there was an error.

Subject: Servlet Exception notification back to Java Client??
I have a Java-client that does the URL Connection to a servlet. This is
in a try/catch construct. The Client also reads the Servlet inputStream
(getting back a byte[] GIF from the servlet).
All works fine...except when something goes wrong. I want to tell the
client what went wrong.
Question:
When the servlet catches an exception, how can it throw an exception
back to the client to catch??
I have tried setError() and throw new ServletException()....these seem
to go to the servlet log, but the Java client knows nothing has
happened. Is there something else I should be setting in the servlet or
checking in the Java-Client??
Thanks
