> Sorry, can you give me the actual section: are you > referring to ยง11.6? In the 3.0 spec, it's in section 11.6 (was 10.6 in the 2.5 version). The key statements are: "The container may respond to all subsequent requests to the Web application with an HTTP status code 500 to indicate an application error. "Developers wishing normal processing to occur after a listener generates an exception must handle their own exceptions within the notification methods." It's unfortunate that the first sentence uses the word "may" rather than "must" - evidence of wording generated by a committee. Because of the softness of the spec, it may well be safest to use the flag in the ServletContext and check it with a filter. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
