As a consequence, the server, by default, will give a listing of all contexts running on the server.

Introduction

There are three ways to create custom error pages that are described below.

Define error pages in web.xml

The standard webapp configuration file located in <webapp>/WEB-INF/web.xml can be used to map errors to specific URLs with the <error-page> element. This element creates a mapping between the error-code or exception-type to the location of a resource in the web application.

  • error-code - integer value
  • exception-type - fully qualified class name of a Java Exception type
  • location - location of the resource in webapp relative to the root of the web application. Value should start with "/".

Error code example: 

<error-page>
  <error-code>404</error-code>
  <location>/jspsnoop/ERROR/404</location>
</error-page>

Exception example: 

<error-page>
  <exception-type>java.io.IOException</exception-type>
  <location>/jspsnoop/IOException</location>
</error-page>

Context file configuration

Context files are normally located in <jetty.home>/contexts/ (see Jetty/Feature/ContextDeployer for more details). Context files can be used to configure the default error handler provided for a context with more flexibility than is available with web.xml, specifically with the support of error code ranges: 

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure//EN" "http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure.dtd">
 
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
  <Set name="contextPath">/test</Set>
  <Set name="war">
    <SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default="."/>/webapps/test
  </Set>
 
  <!-- by Code -->
  <Get name="errorHandler">
    <Call name="addErrorPage">
      <Arg type="int">404</Arg>
      <Arg type="String">/jspsnoop/ERROR/404</Arg>
    </Call>
  </Get>
 
  <!-- by Exception -->
  <Get name="errorHandler">
    <Call name="addErrorPage">
      <Arg type="java.lang.Class">java.io.IOException</Arg>
      <Arg type="String">/jspsnoop/IOException</Arg>
    </Call>
  </Get>
 
  <!-- by Code Range -->
  <Get name="errorHandler">
    <Call name="addErrorPage">
      <Arg type="int">500</Arg>
      <Arg type="int">599</Arg>
      <Arg type="String">/dump/errorCodeRangeMapping</Arg>
    </Call>
  </Get>
</Configure>

h2. 3. Custom error handle class.

A context may be configured with a custom error handler class that extends [ErrorHandler
