How to redirect to external website on 404 Tomcat

Question

I am using spring 3 + Tomcat 7

In web.xml I have defined

    404
    

        

Answer 1

I am not sure whether giving the direct url in location will work. But you can put a jsp there and redirect to the url from the jsp.

    404
    /filenotfound.jsp

filenotfound.jsp

<%@ page language="java" %>  
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
