Setting Default Error Pages

[mduffy_lists]

I can set the default error pages in the web.xml for a specific app; however, I cannot discover how to set default error pages for root.

I tried setting values in /opt/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/deploy/ROOT.war/WEB-INF/web.xml; this did not work.

For the HTTP Status 404 error (resource not available), I would like to forward users my own page when they mistype a URL rather then having them sent to the generic JBoss page.

Thx.

Try server/default/deployers/jbossweb.deployer/web.xml

Here's the solution:

Edit the web.xml in
/opt/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/deployers/jbossweb.deployer

by adding


<!-- 404 SC_NOT_FOUND -->

<error-page>

<error-code>404</error-code>

/error/error404.html

</error-page>

just after </welcome-file-list>

Then the html and supporting files (images, css, etc.) go in
/opt/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/deploy/ROOT.war/error

Works great with Firefox and Opera.

In Internet Explorer the 404 page doesn't show up though.

I read somewhere that if I enable "listings" in web.xml might work, but I just tried it and still doesn't work.

Any ideas there?
