Rashmi, You're right. The example you gave throws an exception and it shows in the localhost log file.
Either Turbine or one of my filters must be trapping the exception. I was tracing it through with a debugger, but must have missed something. Thanks for your help. WILL On 3/30/07, Rashmi Rubdi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Is the web.xml present for this project? Does the web.xml have the Servlet name and URL pattern defined? I temporarily disabled web.xml and tried to access the Servlet -- it gave a 404 error and nothing else was logged in catalina out or the console (this is expected behavior). Anyway, I tried a small test, and I was able to see an Exception message both on the web page for this Servlet and in catalina log file. package test61; import javax.servlet.*; public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet { public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException { try { int test = 5; int divideByZeroError = test / 0; } catch (Exception e) { throw new ServletException("Divide By Zero Exception in init method: ", e); } } public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException { doPost(request, response); } public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException { //nothing } } The above was tested on Tomcat 6.0.x ZIP install (not Windows Service) on Windows XP , with full JDK (not JRE) -Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
