Hi all,

From a security standpoint, what is the best solution to handle application errors with Websphere?

I've been thinking of creating a class that is called every time an application error is generated, log the error and display a generic error message to the users.

In PHP this can be achieved using the set_exception_handler() function. Is there something similar for websphere that could be configured in the web.xml?

I've found codes like this on the internet:

<error-page>
  <error-code>500</error-code>
  <location>/servlet/ExceptionHandlerServlet</location>
</error-page>

But that would only work with "500" HTTP error codes. I really want something generic that catches everything. Something like a class that implements a certain interface which can have access to all information about the error.

Thanks for your time.
