Error-page not working (with pic)

Question

I'm working in Eclipse+tomcat. My custom made static error page is not showing up in tomcat when i click on url for non-existing pages. generated-error.html has a simple img src="404_man.jpg" tag. But I keep getting the error page shown on the pic.

My servlet version is 3.0 if i view it from manifest.mf.

Answer 1

Have you tried the error definition for generic errors, not just 404.

/general-error.html

And are you sure tomcat is running on port 8080? The error page does not look like Tomcat7's default 'cant find page' page.

Answer 2

Some browser like IE needs atleast 512 bytes of data to render. Otherwise it will not render the response. Try adding more content in your error page.

I believe you have very less content in your error page.

Mozilla will work without any problem in this kind of situation.
