[opencms-dev] OpenCMS: 404-error-handling

[Bernd Wolfsegger]

Hi Uwe and Alex,

this drives me a little crazy now :). If I request a "made up" page I get the 
content of my error file. If I implement an error in an existing JSP page, 
like provoking a NullPointerException, requesting this page, the error file 
is not displayed.
Instead I get a normal tomcat error screen (With Status 404!). 
But this happens only if the error page is a JSP or Page connected to some 
JSP. If it is plain text all works fine as it should.
??

Kind regards, Bernd
