Can i define JSP Custom Error Pages for any of HTTP Client Error Code(4XX) and HTTP Server Error Code(5XX)?

Question

I am using Jboss server, i want to know does it recognize all the HTTP Client Error Code(4XX) and HTTP Server Error Code(5XX) so that i can configure my custom error page like for 502, 503 etc. in web.xml? Thanks in advance.

Edit : i did't find any documentation that has defined this. but @Jeremy suggested me a way to test it out: Write a Servlet to return error code you want as following.

response.sendError([Error code goes here],
  "Error Message");

Answer 1

I think you are looking for this:

<error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/ErrorPage.jsp</location>
</error-page>

To test this, write a servlet that specifically returns the error code.

Answer 2

There are few approaches to set custom error pages.

1. If you are using JSP's in presentation layer.

   foo.jsp

    <%@ page errorPage="/errorPage.jsp" %> // Here we are redirecting to error.jsp if any exception is thrown 

   errorPage.jsp

    <%@ page isErrorPage="true" %> 

   I suggest this for development purposes.

2. At Application Level

   Setting errorpages in web.xml

   like above answer

    <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/ErrorPage.jsp</location> </error-page> 

3. I still need to experiment with Container level, by editing web.xml found in jboss-web.sar or jboss-tomcatxx.sar
