Hi guys,
i'm working on a jsf application and i've decided to use a custom error
page.
What i want is displaying the stacktrace of the application level'
exceptions like nullpointer,mysql exceptions etc....in a custom error
page.
I've followed an example at the end of core java server faces book but
it's doesn' work!!
Please help me,these are my steps...
i've defined in my web.xml

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.faces</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
  <error-page>
  <error-code>500</error-code>
  <location>/errorDisplay.jsp</location>
 </error-page>

i've errorDisplay.jsp

 <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
 <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<html>

<f:subview id="dummy">

 <h:inputTextarea value="#{errorBean.stackTrace}"
 rows="40" cols="80" readonly="true"/>
 </h:form>
 </body>
 </f:subview>
 </html>

and this is my managed bean ErrorBean.java

package giu;

import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;

public class ErrorBean {
    public String getStackTrace() {
        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Map request = context.getExternalContext().getRequestMap();
        Throwable ex = (Throwable)
request.get("javax.servlet.error.exception");
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw);
        fillStackTrace(ex, pw);
        return sw.toString();
    }

    private static void fillStackTrace(Throwable t, PrintWriter w) {
        if (t == null)
            return;
        t.printStackTrace(w);
        if (t instanceof ServletException) {
            Throwable cause = ((ServletException) t).getRootCause();
            if (cause != null) {
                w.println("Root cause:");
                fillStackTrace(cause, w);
            }
        } else if (t instanceof SQLException) {
            Throwable cause = ((SQLException) t).getNextException();
            if (cause != null) {
                w.println("Next exception:");
                fillStackTrace(cause, w);
            }
        } else {
            Throwable cause = t.getCause();
            if (cause != null) {
                w.println("Cause:");
                fillStackTrace(cause, w);
            }
        }
    }
}
