Thanks very much. I will try that.

Servlet docs suggest you can nominate your JSP as an error page for status 404 - in Tomcat you could put this in conf/web.xml (after <welcome-file-list>) <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/my_error_404.jsp</location> </error-page> then if you call response.sendError(404, "") when your app decides the request isn't sensible, this page will be used. I haven't tried this.
