Hi Martin,

Thank you for your email.

In my application's web.xml, there is already a default <error-page>
error-code that defines 404 (../error_404.jsp), 403 (../error_403.jsp), 500
(../error_500.jsp) and java.lang.Throwable (.. /system Error.jsp)

where as the tomcat web.xml defines the previous error page on exception.

Do I have to declare the same error code in the application's web.xml in
the tomcat web.xml?

Hi John,

Thank you for your reply.

In the tomcat server.xml, there is already a Valve tag like <Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.AccessLogValve" pattern=... /> under <Host
name="local"... >

For your resolution is to include another valve tag below the access log
valve?

Regards with Thanks,

Fang
