Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I am trying to redirect to an error page upon some condition in my servlet code. But until now nothing is working out.

So I am using weblogic 10.x as my app server. am deploying apps directly into managed servers using the console.

So basically i jar them up as .war files and deploy them as webapps.

       public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
          throws IOException , ServletException
       {
          try
           {
                      throw new Exception("503_Exception") ;                 
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {
                      response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(HandleError.handle(e, request)));
           }
       }   


    public class HandleError{
        public static String handle(Throwable t, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
        { 
             String sErrorMsg = t.getMessage();
    
             if (sErrorMsg.equals("503_Exception")) {
                request.setAttribute("msg", "INVALID SESSION");
                return "/jsp/error/custom.html";
             }
             return "/default_error.html";
        }
    }

war file structure

->jsp->error->custom.html
->web-inf
->web-inf->classes->project2->Class1.class

http://machineNAME:3030/Application3-Project2-context-root ->redirects to ->http://machineNAME:3030/jsp/error/custom.html -->> where the actual context root is missing ..

But if i give -

 
    response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(request.getContextPath() + HandleError.handle(e, request)));

i get Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): in chrome and in FF error says too many re-directions .

Could someone help me out ?
thanks in advance. :)
