Hi Tim, Thanks for that explanation. We are not using any web server, so, I cannot configure in httpd file.
I resolved the problem using the same <error-page> tag. I have placed my custom error page in webapps/ROOT directory. Thanks for your support. On 5/17/07, Tim Lucia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I don't know. I've never tried it. You'll have to give specific reasons why it's not working, including configuration files as appropriate.

Also I do not have any file named > httpd.conf in my tomcat. I meant using Apache's httpd web server in front of Tomcat, connecting the two via mod_jk or mod_proxy. See http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html for more ideas. In this case, I do send a custom 404 from httpd, regardless of whether it was local or came from Tomcat.
