I am doing an web java project about an hotel reservation. I am using, sql, hibernate, java server pages.

I want to know how can I redirect an incoming exception to an error.jsp file . There are a lot of java code , and a lot of jsp file. So I want to rederict every exception that I haven't handle to an error page, is there any way to do it ? An exception can come from everywhere and I can't know and handle them all ( for example an user can write to much data in an textfield, and it will generate me an sql exception for data to long)

Thank you, sorry for my english.

  • Pass all the request from filter and handle any exception caught at server side. – Braj Jun 08 '14 at 15:21

Define in your web.xml 

<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type>
<location>/error.jsp</location>
</error-page>
