Hi all,

Is there a way to catch the Page Not Found exception in Tomcat when
user did not typed in the correct page name?

I am trying to catch it and then redirect the user to my home page.
Thank you.

Put this in your web.xml:

<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/WEB-INF/404.jsp</location>
</error-page>

Replace /WEB-INF/404.jsp with whatever location you want to redirect to.
