Is there a way to configure a custom 404 error page instead of 403 forbidden error

Hi all,

I am running wildfly version 10.0.0.Final, and meeting with a problem about the 403 forbidden page.

The problem is when I access a web directory which exists in my server (like http://ip:port/myserver/<existing_web_directory>), the return result is 403 forbidden page. While in previous version JBoss EAP 6.4, the return page is as defined in my web.xml (404 error page) instead of 403 forbidden. I am not sure if the description is clear enough but my quesion is is there a way to configure this to a custom 404 error page instead of 403 forbidden error?

The configured 404 page in web.xml is like below:

<error-page>
  <error-code id="error404">404</error-code>
  <location>/error404.jsp</location>
</error-page>

Accessing the existing web directory http://ip:port/myserver/<existing_web_directory> will return this configured 404 page, but in wildfly, it returns 403 forbidden page.

I don't fully understand the question - are you saying you want the server to generate a 404 error instead of 403? Or are you asking how to configure a custom page for 403 error code? I don't think you are asking the latter since you already know how to configure one for 404.

Thanks Jaikiran for your reply. I have resolved this by adding another error-page configuration for 403 in web.xml.

<error-page> <error-code id="error403">403</error-code> <location>/error404.jsp</location> </error-page>
