Re: error page for error code 500?

Tue, 04 Feb 2003 08:07:54 -0800

If you are trying to generate a 500 by accessing a url outside a context then the error page defined within the context won't get triggered. Where are you putting your error-page tags? You could try altering the web.xml in tomcats conf directory...

Thank you for the reply.

I should be clearer. We are developing a struts app and I am using tiles
and declarative error handling features.
My goal is to have the user only my error pages (not server errors ect.)
I know that certain errors fall outside of the struts controller.

Over the course of development, I have triggered the odd 404,400, and 500
tomcat error page.
In web.xml i was able to map 404 and 400 but not 500.

I can simulate each error:
404 - calling a non existent page
400 - calling a non existent action mapping
500 - calling without a web app context: ie /action.do instead of
/myApp/action.do (I'm sure there are other ways..)

The reason I posted to this list is that I am under the understanding that
I could map any error code to a page.

Am I wrong?
<!-- This works...-->
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/error/ServerError404Page.jsp</location>
</error-page>

<error-page>
<error-code>400</error-code>
<location>/error/Server400ErrorPage.jsp</location>
</error-page>

<!-- this does not work - why? -->
<error-page>
<error-code>500</error-code>
<location>/error/Server500ErrorPage.jsp</location>
</error-page>

Thanks for the help..

Doesn't error 500 means the server (tomcat) isn't responding?
in which case, if there's a problem with tomcat, it can't then process

the

request to tell you there's a problem ;)


By far the most common cause is that Tomcat is running fine, but your
servlet or JSP page threw an exception. The only way to know for sure is
to examine the exception traceback that is presented in the response
and/or in the log files created by Tomcat in the $CATALINA_HOME/logs
directory.

Just for fun, run the following JSP page and see what you get:

<%
int i = 5;
int j = 0;
int k = i / j;
%>

and examine the stack trace that shows up (a divide by zero error).
That's an application programming error, and nothing to do with the
container.
