Hi,
Attached is a simple Web application with two servlets and a JSP error
page for 404 response status codes.
The SetStatusServlet does the following when servicing a request:
response.addHeader("X-FOO", "foo");
response.setStatus(404);
The SendErrorServlet does the following when servicing a request:
response.addHeader("X-FOO", "foo");
response.sendError(404);
I used GF v3 preview for testing with the following results:
1) When SetStatusServlet serves the request the default GF 404 error
page is returned, not the error page
declared in the web.xml. The X-FOO header is present.
2) When SendErrorServlets serves the request the error page declared
in the web.xml is returned. The X-FOO
header is not present.
Is this an issue or a spec requirement.
If this is a spec requirement should we have a GF feature to relax
this. So when say a response is returned with no response entity (no
bytes written to the servlet response output stream) that error pages
can be invoked.
Paul.
