Hi, This what I did
1. I added below configuration <error-page> <exception-type>java.sql.SQLException</exception-type> <location>/index.html</location> </error-page> 2. Then added below lines to my doPost() throw new ServletException("SQLException", new SQLException()); It works for me. Could you try to direct your error location to a static page instead of a servlet?

I have been trying to solve this problem for hours with no result. I would appreciate it if someone offers to look at my war file for me.
