Yeah - that's pretty much the only thing I managed to figure out. I updated
the conf/web.xml file to include
<error-page>
<error-code>503</error-code>
<location>/error/maintenance.html</location>
</error-page>
and put the /error/maintenance.html in the ROOT directory.
Of course, the ugly part about this is that a) /error/maintenance.html is
now accessible through my root app (unless otherwise protected), and I need
to have a separate ROOT/error/maintenance.html for each individual Tomcat
instance. I was hoping to be able to centralize the error msgs (as in
httpd), but didn't have any success. I tried using a symlink to point my
error/ folder to a central location, but Tomcat didn't follow the link.
Not the prettiest soln, but functional. Would be nice if I could make it
nicer tho.
Thanks,
Eric
