Hi Rob,
I have the same problem as you have.
I can tell you what I did but it is not as good as I want it to be.
Maybe others will help us with a better solution.
So I wrote SilentErrorValve.java. This is insufficient because one has
to have a response otherwise (in my case with apache httpd amd
mod_jk), I get 2 errors, the second being an error from mod_jk where
the error page is not found. But it is a start, and at least I don't
get a stack trace which was my primary objective.
To enable the custom response, I need the attribute
errorReportValveClass="mypackage.SilentErrorValve" in every <Host
entry in server.xml.
What I would prefer is to put the HTML code instead of a file into
web.xml such as (I am making this up - it would not work):
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<content>
<html><![CDATA[<body>Not found</body>]]></html>
</content>
</error-page>
But that is still ugly. What I would really like is that Tomcat and
mod_jk would pass on every error to Apache httpd as a 500 server
error. The reason is that in any case httpd has to have error response
pages and everyone hates creating two sets of pages for the same
thing.
In my case, tomcat does not serve any static pages, only generated
content, so it does not even have a document directory where it could
read files from.
BTW where is the correct use of <error-page> documented?
Regards,
Bernard
