Hate it when it's only me... and it's even worse when it's not an obvious
error I'm making....

I'm using Tomcat stand-alone (I had been using it integrated with an EJB
server JBoss - the same errors were popping up).
Here's a sequence of events to give you an idea of what's happening...
Using the war created as I described before, with an error-page pointing
to a file /error/error.html (for instance - this definitely exists, if I
type localhost:8080/Greeting/error/error.html it is displayed), if I type
in a URL that doesn't exist, tomcat prints out
2000-12-06 10:19:39 - Ctx( /Greeting ): 404 R( /Greeting + /x.html +
null) null
Over and over until it finally overflows...
java.lang.StackOverflowError
at java.io.FileNotFoundException.(FileNotFoundException.java:62)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:64)
at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:95)

org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.handleStatus(ContextManager.java:1049)
at
org.apache.tomcat.request.FileHandler.doService(StaticInterceptor.java:387)
Nothing is printed out in the logs to say this happened..
If I replace my error-page location with error/error.html (missing the
forward slash) the same 404 is kicked out by Tomcat, but it doesn't loop
over and over, and the browser displays a 404 message like this:
Error: 404
Location: /Greeting/indextml
null
I haven't tried re-directing to a jsp. that's probably the next thing I'll
give a go.
