Question

I have a REST web service class which i call HttpRequest using curl.I wrote the web service using jersey framework and java in Netbean IDE.If the HttpRequest syntax is correct, the response shows Ok. But When I request the wrong syntax , the response show like this :

My question is how to remove or hide the code here in java?Do anyone know if the response is 400 or 403 or 500. If can remove or hide, can I replace something with exception using java ?

Answer 1

You can use the error-page tag (1 per error code), in your application’s web.xml to map specific errors to custom error pages. Example (in your web.xml):

<error-page>
 <error-code>400</error-code>
 <location>/myCustomErrorPage.jsp</location>
</error-page>
