If you're running an Apache Tomcat web server, how do you customise your error documents? Add an <error-page> tag set into your web.xml file

To change this:

into this:

I added the following to by web.xml:

<error-page>

<error-code>404</error-code>

<location>/broken.html</location>

</error-page>

and put the following broken.html file into my web application:

<head>

<title>Sorry - no such page</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Oops - I don't have that page</h1>

This is our "error 404" page.  Please

Do you want to know how to increase the amount of memory that the JVM gets given in Tomcat? That's in another post - here - which I promised today's delegates I would mention for them!
