--- Comment #17 from Libor Jelinek <ljeli...@virtage.com> --- Potential reason to reopen this: Having the following web.xml still end up with showing Tomcat default error page. Is it intended behavior or a bug? <servlet> <!-- throws some exception --> <servlet-name>ThrowerServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.example.ThrowerServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>ThrowerServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <error-page> <location>/WEB-INF/global-error-page.jsp</location> </error-page> I assume that scenario here is the following: 1. ThrowerServlet causes an exception 2. Tomcat issue error dispatch 3. But it is responded by ThrowerServlet (have catch-all URL pattern /*) which causes same exception again. 4. Tomcat present default error page I'm asking if error page should be matched by /*, i.e. effectively skipping error page to display and resulting in calling buggy servlet on /* again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
