It just doesn't have to be (and shouldn't be!) the default Tomcat root web application. Why? Well, if you navigate to /doesnotexist.html or /does/not/exist.html, unless your application is ROOT or happens to be mounted on "/does", Tomcat has no application to "assign" the request to, so it MUST generate a generic error message. If you want to be able to handle all possible 404 responses with a nice, application-branded "not found" page, you'll need to roll a ROOT web application which has just some basic configuration for things like errors, and the pages which will be returned when you get those errors. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - https://www.enigmail.net/ iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEMmKgYcQvxMe7tcJcHPApP6U8pFgFAl6fdIgACgkQHPApP6U8 pFjbmhAAqcqiusrD++bvPNY2BuQmd3eLV8P7Hyis9s9US+E55hPM0WyiZGjfSohQ Cb1FOpyUvt1WMx/irY8RY+o3aBAYYV8iHR7ydabFRyMhoFQYPislwvW9XnGHKIvE fQx8p+Z4Vr32GywvrbhFGA7eeQrN+j5jfv/pt8fCTDTSpchTgmfOEIbfKi+BcoMg ljvJmww+0XDY+z0SgZo47Nczw18WP9pOa0Q8xxHHw1tVLJRLG1RW6Z/B7+BE6UdH r6ly1A3I59duBHiummwiMOBBGivXaP090lM9GHCWHhkrP32YjXpb34HPt3QcoV5K ZRep0g06EyyUt1TR2aCzLDAN8zsCq6nJJsXrovXrsm60fJ+aLir3PAfyEsTYEPR7 r5HsJO3T+gpIwqb/lpxSAaML5VbmVNf8dpih5Q2iS2dELGN9WddiEZOO60ztXWfQ KofJbuqIsnmD2XcZTexdCoJmKb+3huOmW6LWtZ+6hrq/9EgvI4ZfV3DvdRELC/JL f7u/3AbuPo8vg/H81KEaqZja6RxhuDjoSV+w08zyaaXupNPi5rG3zoNajgmatfpf GCZNSVnu7++Rk0HDwuFgbNyqDa0Po7Ah33HNUe7K3fpFIHEC7+vDN9A3kXjPjNaA F45M3l8Z1BKsW0GK+kFcL0/Cn514CrcioQae62nyvZw9U4wm9rI= =B8Ar -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
