hi
how do we handle errors in JSP.
If/when I get an exception in my jsp , I want to forward to a new page giving a message to the user .
I tried the <%@ page errorPage =error.jsp%> but did not really work well , tried to catch exception in controller and forward to another jsp , then I got an response committed exception
What is the best way to acheive what i need here
TIA
Once the response is committed there is nothing you can do about it. You can't call it back and change your mind, because you've already sent it down the pipe.
Possible solutions:
- catch the error before you start rendering (I'm not sure where the error is coming from in your system, so that might not be feasible)
- use a larger buffer (<%@ page buffer="16kb" %> (won't stop the problem, but will hide it for smaller pages)
How large is the result page you are sending?
thanks for the response
I handle most of the errors in DAO and controller if possible
These are the exceptions that happend once in a while in the middle of the page in a jsp.
I tried increasing the buffer but it overflowed in certain JSP's. Is advisable to increase the limit of the buffer?
