There are two valves used to handle errors. The first one is the ErrorDispatcherValve. This is the valve that will forward the request to the error page if there is a uncaught exception. The second valve is the ErrorReportValve wich is the last valve on the list of valves of a Host and is used to generate a error report in HTML.
You don't need to add this valves by hand because they are added by the start method of the StandardHost implementation. If you are using other implementation of the Host interface you must add this valves yourself. The exception of JSP's are stored under the attibute 'javax.servlet.jsp.jspException' of the request. But you must access this value directly using the 'exception' variable already declared on the context of the error page. --- Jan Kunzmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I've a problem with JSP error handling. > > I tried to make custom error pages with the > <% page errorPage="..." %> element.
