Thanks, Charles. I should have mentioned that I have tried to use the global web.xml but it does not work either. (Just keep the error pages in the same place, and add the <error-page>'s in the global web.xml in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf) According to the spec, it should catch 4xx and 5xx. From Servlet Spec v2.4, SRV.9.9.2 Error Pages ========== If the sendError method is called on the response, the container consults the list of error page declarations for the Web application that use the status-code syntax and attempts a match. If there is a match, the container returns the resource as indicated by the location entry. ... The default servlet and container will use the sendError method to send 4xx and 5xx status responses, so that the error mechanism may be invoked. ================ Thanks, YM

If the application is not available, its custom error pages are also not available. You might be able to put your 503 page in Tomcat's global web.xml, but I can't say that I've tried it. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
