My first inclination is that this a bug or enhancement request.

From a user point of view, if I have an app (which is not the root webapp) and I stop it, then all requests should then go to the root webapp. Of course doing this might introduce bad side effects during the course of an application restart.

As a workaround, there is an option in Tomcat to use your own ErrorReportValve. This might be an option. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/host.html - see errorReportValveClass

Hi,

I have a webapp that needs to be down if we are doing some maintenance. I use the manager to make the application unavailable but in this case the 404 customized error-page is not displayed.

I modified the default web.xml (in conf/) to add the error-page 404, but it doesn't seems to be resolved when the context is stopped.

If I type an URL that doesn't exists, that doesn't map to any context, I get the right error page. But if it match a context path of a webapp that is stopped, I have the Tomcat default error page. Is there a way to fix this?
