>What happens if you declare a custom error page for the ROOT (default) >webapp? 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.
