The isErrorPage Attribute of page Directive In JSP
This section provides the best illustration of the isErrorPage
attribute of the page directive in JSP by providing three JSP pages and
it's output. This is a boolean attribute of the page directive.
It sets the boolean
value either true or false. You can use the exception object in
the JSP page if you set the true value of the attribute otherwise you
cannot use the exception object because the default value of the attribute is false.
Here, this section provides the two JSP files these
are:
- ErrorPageAttribute.jsp
- error.jsp
About the ErrorPageAttribute.jsp page:
This page show a simple text box in which you have to
enter a number and a button which is used for submission the html form and
divided the entered number by 0 (Zero) i.e. the cause of generating an error and
the page is redirected to the specified file name which is mentioned as the
value of the errorPage attribute of the page directive.
About the error.jsp page:
This page shows the error generated in the calling JSP
page because of dividing the entered number by zero or any type of the error
when the value of the isErrorPage attribute is set with the true
value.
About the error1.jsp page:
There is only one difference between the JSP page error.jsp
and the error1.jsp page is the value of the isErrorPage attribute
of the page directive. In this page the value of the attribute is false.
Because of this, the page does not support the exception object and will
generate an error.
Here is the code of the ErrorPageAttribute.jsp page:
<%@page errorPage="error1.jsp" %>
<html>
<head><title>Showing Error Page.</title></head>
<body>
<form method="post">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>Enter a number: </td>
<td><input type="text" name="txtNum" />
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="submit" name="B1" value="Divide by zero" />
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<%
if(request.getParameter("txtNum") != null){
if(!request.getParameter("txtNum").equals("")){
int div = Integer.parse
Int(request.getParameter("txtNum")) / 0;
out.println("Answer is: " + div);
}
else{
out.println("<html><font color=r
ed>Please enter a number.</font></html>");
}
}
%>
</body>
</html>
