Custom 404 page

RLJB

Can anyone give a hint as to where we can modify the 404 page that is thrown in Aware?

I am also interested in doing this.

I have not had time to investigate this very much, but I think, there might be a setting in the tomcat config file to handle this.

I know that is not a definite answer, but you only asked for a hint anyway :lol:

Yes, this is displayed by Tomcat, so you need to check Tomcat documentation what is possible there

I'm not clear, under what circumstances will a 404 error occur within the scope of an application?

aware_admin

It is displayed if you specify an invalid URL

Steps to create a custom 404, 500 error pages.

Default Tomcat 404 error page

My custom 404 error page. Button takes me to the login page.

1) Open AwareIM/Tomcat/conf/web.xml using any text editor.
2) Down the bottom of the page after </welcome-file-list> insert

   <error-page>  

       <error-code>404</error-code>  

       <location>/404.html</location>  

   </error-page>

3) Create your own HTML 404 page, name it 404.html and save it in your c:/AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/ folder and any images or CSS used.
4) To test it, type http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.aww in the browser

http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.aww

For error 500:

   <error-page>  

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

       <location>/500.html</location>  

   </error-page>

You should also include a copy of the the 404.html in Tomcat/webapps/ROOT directory.

Rename the 404.html to index.html. This way, if anyone types the wrong url after the my.ip:8080/, the 404 error will show up.
