[opencms-dev] How do you customize error page

[Tim Van Der Hulst]

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your suggestion re: 500 error handler.

I'm using tomcat 4.1 and nothing is working..
Perhaps I have understood incorrectly?

I've tried this..

<error-page>
        <error-code>500</error-code>
        <location>/opencms/error.html</location>
    </error-page>

and this (including several types of exceptions)

<error-page>
  	<exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type> 
        <location>/opencms/error.html</location>
    </error-page>

and nothing works :(

Tomcat loads up without errors (and works fine for 404 errors, etc) but I still get the opencms error page on exceptions :(

I could just double check I have try/catch's around every piece of java code i've written but I really want to customize this as a last resort.

Anyone else figured this out??

Thanks

TiM

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.
