passing RequestPath to error page from web.xml

[Rooney]

Hi,

I have pointed any errors to Error.jsp in my web.xml file (as shown).

<error-page>

<error-code>500</error-code>

<location>/Error.jsp?id=500</location>

</error-page>

As you can see I also pass the type of error, is there any way I can
pass the RequestPath that resulted in the error in the first place?


Cheers,
Paul

Please don't pass the error id by hand; the servlet container will
already do that for you.

pass the RequestPath that resulted in the error in the first place?

For this, as well as the other issue, please see SRV.9.9 in Java Servlet
Specification; the chapter describes what the container will provide
for error handling.

The specification can be found here:
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr154/index.html

The specification is good read for anyone working with Java web apps.
