passing RequestPath to error page from web.xml

Hi,

I have pointed any errors to Error.jsp in my web.xml file (as shown).

<error-page>

<error-code>500</error-code>

<location>/Error.jsp?id=500</location>

</error-page>

As you can see I also pass the type of error, is there any way I can
pass the RequestPath that resulted in the error in the first place?

Cheers,
Paul

Please don't pass the error id by hand; the servlet container will
already do that for you.

For this, as well as the other issue, please see SRV.9.9 in Java Servlet
Specification; the chapter describes what the container will provide
for error handling.

The specification can be found here:
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr154/index.html

The specification is good read for anyone working with Java web apps.
