Isn't T5 acting as a filter? So if Tomcat/etc hands control to T5 to find the correct resource/page, T5 has the opportunity to handle things like error messages. Is it out of the question for Tapestry to provide base error pages that we can override, or configure Tapestry to pass errors back to the container? Then we'd only have to implement HTTP500.java, etc.
As far as having the container redirect to another Tapestry page, that should be ok too, unless you're using IE. (I know, WTH?!?) A quick look here: http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t142707-tomcat-404-custom-error.html Shows that if you want relatively short error messages (less than 512B), The fool proof way is to redirect to another page, I'm guessing inside your Servlet/filter: response.sendRedirect("http://blah/404.html";); (thereby bypassing IE's Friendly Error Page thing) One problem with handling the error within Tapestry is that now your Tapestry app should be logging 404's etc, if you had planned to do such things. I don't think Tomcat would log the error if Tapestry handles it.
