Thanks paul, you're now on the Christmas card list, however I've got that lot setup already. My question was more along the lines of how can I get any data about the actual url requested.
As far as I can tell TC knows nothing about the original request and only allows you to display a *virgin* jsp page (ie: no history). Does anyone know if there's a way to get the original request url from a 404 redirect?

Both apache and Tomcat are configured to pass any 404 errors through to error/404.jsp where we want to implement a quasi intelligent lookup system which will attempt to either match pages for common mispellings or to known url changes. > >However I believe TC uses redirection for its custom error pages and as such doesn't seem to have any memory of what the actual url requested was. > >Any assistance as always will guarantee a place in my virtual christmas card list. > >Thanks > >Tref Gare > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dionisio Ruiz de Zarate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wed 18/12/2002 23:03 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: > Subject: obtaining mod_jk > > > > >-- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
