http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42409 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-06-02 07:58 ------- Ok. I will tell you what my use case is for this feature. I'm writing a set of servlets that handle requests via javascript and the XMLHttpRequest js object. In order to differentiate between good requests and bad requests, I either have the response code set to 200 for success and 400 for failure. I have separate handlers for each status number on the javascript end. As part of the response, I send data in the header via the "X-JSON" header with a json string as the value in the header. The client reads the json parses the json string in both success responses and error responses (SC_BAD_REQUEST). The reason im using a special error page for 400 responses is that the default tomcat page is a lot more verbose, I want to respond with a very small json string, not a full html page. The prototype javascript library, (http://www.prototypejs.org) is what automatically evaluates json for me via the X-JSON response header (in case that information helps). Anyway, I think this is a pretty reasonable use case, but if others disagree, I would at least like to know some other avenues I can take to get this type of usage with tomcat.
