exception handling

[uwerothfeld]

hallo

can anyone told me: how works the global exception handling in strut. i declare something like:

<global-exceptions>
<exception
type="javax.servlet.ServletException"
path="/pages/error.jsp"/>
<exception
type="java.lang.InstantiationException"
path="/pages/error.jsp"/>
</global-exceptions>

but it works only sometimes. how can i access the exception message in the error.jsp?

thanks a lot.

It may not be a good practice to catch exception in JSP. So is better to catch it in your struts code itself and handle appropriately.

For Exception handling unless specifically required, it is better to cath the base jave Exception so that for any exception it will show your \pages\error.jsp page.
