Wendy, This looks interesting. What is 'den.login.success'? Is it a key in a resource file or a java class or just a flat file with a dot-notation name?

So I took out this line: <forward name="terms" path="den.terms.agreement" > And put in: <exception type="edu.asu.dao.DAOException" path="/WEB-INF/error.jsp" key="error.dao.exception"/> And I just get a JSP with a stack trace. Although TermsAcceptanceException extends DAOException, it doesn't go to error.jsp. Two questions... what is the 'key' attribute of <exception> used for, and can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong?
