The suggestion to change 403.jsp to something like _403.jsp did not work. I did however change my browser setting in the advanced section concerning "friendly error messages". This did work. I still don't understand why the IE browser distinguishes between an HTML error page and a JSP error page. The browser, it would seem to me, would not be aware of that.
Here's the first message again: I am trying to configure a custom error page when users try to access an area of my site that they don't have sufficient rights to access. The book says this to configure this in web.xml: <error-page> <error-code>403</error-code> <location>/error/403.jsp</location> </error-page> This doesn't work for me, but.... <error-page> <error-code>403</error-code> <location>/error/403.html</location> </error-page> Does work. Is there a problem with using JSP's. I'm am using JBOSS with Tomcat, but that shouldn't matter. It's still the Tomcat engine. I'm also using Struts. I'm using Tomcat 4.1.24. -----Original Message----- From: Yansheng Lin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 5:32 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Problem with error-page Doooh.
