Chuck, I ended up taking care of it within the servlet/jsp. Not a new page, and maybe not the most elegant thing in the world, but it does the job.
--- catch(Exception SQex){ SQex.printStackTrace(); log("SQL exception:", SQex); if (SQex!=null) { out.println("<p><br><span class='reddate'>Your ID may not work properly now.</span><br>"); out.println("<span class='reddate'>Either your userID was deactivated or you're not allowed to vote in this branch.</span><br>"); out.println("<a href='mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Control password reactivation needed&Body=Your manager will need to approve reactivation of your password' class='bodtxtBoldsmx'>Click here</a> <span class='bodtxtBoldsmx'>to contact Default Change Control to have your password reactivated<br> It could be that you're not delegated for this particular branch.</span>"); } if (SQex.getMessage().equalsIgnoreCase("Exhausted Resultset")) { connection.close(); } } ------------ -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 2:58 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: customized error page for tomcat depending on code > From: Propes, Barry L [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: customized error page for tomcat depending on code > > I believe the webapp catches it prior to that, Chuck.

Pretty much any string of Unicode characters is syntactically valid for most XML attributes; it's the semantics of the value that are important, and clearly, no class name should have a space in it (although, technically, spaces are allowed). Note that the value for an <exception-type> must be a class name, nothing more. There's no mechanism defined in the servlet spec to utilized attributes of an exception, which is what you're trying to do. If you have control of the webapp, you could have it catch that particular exception and then rethrow some unique type that could be declared in <exception-type>. - Chuck --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
