Is there a way to configure usage of ONE custom error page for ALL error codes in tomcat's web.xml?

configuration, tomcat

Solution

No, there is no way in Tomcat.

The Servlet 3.0 specification supports a global error page as follows:

<error-page>
    <location>/error.html</location>
</error-page>

So in theory it should work in at least Tomcat 7.0. But it's not properly implemented in Tomcat 7.0. I have ever reported issue 52135 about this, but they denied it. It works on other Servlet 3.0 containers though.

You can however workaround this by implementing a Tomcat-specific `ErrorReportValve` class which you then register as `<Host errorReportValveClass>`.

Problem

As said in the in the title, I want to change default error pages in tomcat and did: ``` <error-page> <error-code>500</error-code> <location>/error_500.html</location> </error-page> <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/error_404.html</location> </error-page> ``` Is it possible to use wildcard error codes like ``` <error-page> <error-code>*</error-code> <location>/error.html</location> </error-page> ``` ? (The example above doesn't work, but is there another way?) Thanks
