[opencms-dev] How do you customize error page

[Alexander Kandzior]

Forgive me if I am stating the obvious, but on you your JSP you need to
write some code like this:

CmsJspAction Element cmsJsp; // need to be initialzed
CmsObejct cms = cmsJsp.getCmsObject();

boolean success;
try {
cms.addWebuser(...);
success = true;
} catch (Excaption e) {
success = false;
}

if (success) {
// display some success message
} else {
// display some failure message
}


To customize the OpenCms core error pages themself is IIRC not possible in
OpenCms 5 without hacking the core. What you can do is add a 500 (internal
server error) handler using standard Java Webapp means, which should then be
invoked in case of any error in OpenCms.

Best Regards,
Alex.
