  1. POStruts 2 and Custom Error Pages on WebSphere Application Server 8 (WAS 8)

    text
    <p>We're migrating our servers from WAS 7 to WAS 8 and facing an issue that does not happen in WAS 7: if an invalid URL is requested, WAS 7 responds with the custom error page we set in <code>web.xml</code>, which is a JSP and use Struts Tags. In WAS 8, however, it does not, and shows up the error page / stack trace below. It only happens if the invalid URL doesn't have the default struts extension, so I believe the issue is on <code>web.xml</code> configuration, whose snippets are show after the error page.</p> <p><BR><BR><strong>ERROR PAGE / STACK TRACE</strong><BR></p> <pre><code>Error Page Exception SRVE0260E: The server cannot use the error page specified for your application to handle the Original Exception printed below.

Is there any configuration change required to have struts handling custom error pages on WAS 8?
