Hi, > Also, how come the page is not forwarded to > ErrorPage.jsp?
Because the error situation is not "client request needs server response, server fails" but vice versa: "server is ready to write response to client and client has stopped listening". So, there is simply no point in thinking of an error page here. The client will never see an error because the client has cancelled the communication prematurely. Sounds weird but if you think more of it, it is quite simple.
