Issue: Tomcat does not redirect to the HMAExceptionHandlerServlet servlet I have configured in the application specific web.xml when running on Linux
I've tried searching all of the lists for an answer to this question. I've seen several postings by people having the same issue, but never a solution. My Tomcat version: Apache Tomcat 5.5.33 (I've also tried 5.5.27 and 6.0.32) running on: Fedora 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 Two things I would like to note: 1. When I invoke the Java HMAExceptionHandlerServlet configured to be used in the error-page block in the application specific web.xml directly from the URL in the browser, it works. 2. Tomcat 5.5.33 does correctly redirect to the error-page when running on a Windows 7 machine. The only time I have an issue is on the Linux configuration above. My application specific web.xml (located in <tomcat install>/webapps/<application>/WEB-INF folder) : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";> <context-param> <param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name> <param-value>server</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/navigation.xml,/WEB-INF/managed-beans.xml</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>com.sun.faces.validateXml</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>com.sun.faces.verifyObjects</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </context-param> <filter> <filter-name>UploadFilter</filter-name> <filter-class>com.sun.rave.web.ui.util.UploadFilter</filter-class> <init-param> <description> The maximum allowed upload size in bytes.
