<error-page> web.xml is not working
Question
I am trying to learn the usage of tags in JSP Servlets and getting stuck with an issue. I have provided the configuration in web.xml but the control is not going to the desired location. I took this sample code from a forum. Can someone please guide me where am I going wrong.
MyExceptionServlet.java
package com.journaldev.servlet.exception;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
@WebServlet("/MyExceptionServlet")
public class MyExceptionServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
throw new ServletException("GET method is not supported.");
}
}
web.xml

By looking at the error stack trace its clear that the control is not going to the "/AppExceptionHandler" url as specified in the web.xml.
Snapshot of eclipse browser when trying to access the URL :
**http://localhost:8081/ServletExceptionHandling/MyExceptionServlet**
By going through various portals, I did the following analysis. this problem can occur when using servlet version other than 3 but I checked the manifest file of the servlet-api.jar bundled within tomcat installation and its Specification-Title: Java API for Servlets Specification-Version: 3.1
Some forums said, its the problem with IE, hence I checked in Mozialla, Eclipse browser. I feel that the error tags in web.xml are not being identified correctly. Else the URL would have got changed to something else. Even the stacktrace suggests that the redirect to AppExceptionHandler.java is not happening.
Some more information regarding versions
Eclipse Juno Service Release 2 Tomcat Version 8 JRE7 JDK1.7
On request directory structure in the eclipse. Please help.

Reload not supported on WAR deployed at path /foo
Currently, application reloading (to pick up changes to the classes or web.xml file) is not supported when a web application is deployed directly from a WAR file. It only works when the web application is deployed from an unpacked directory. If you are using a WAR file, you should undeploy and then deploy or deploy with the update parameter the application again to pick up your changes.
