Global web.xml

Global web.xml

This section contains a quick reference to the elements in the global web.xml file, located in <installdir>\conf\servlet.

Table 5 describes the root element of the configuration file.

Table 5 – Global web.xml root element
Element	Contains	Description
web-app	(error-page) (mime-mapping)	Root element for a configuration file. All other elements in a configuration file are contained within the web-app element.

Table 6 describes the elements that configure an error page.

Table 6 – Error-page elements
Element	Contains	Description
error-page	error-code location	Defines a static page for the servlet container to return to the client when the Agent returns an error.
error-code	HttpErrorCode	Contains the numeric HTTP error code this error-page element applies to. For example, 500 specifies that the error-page handles internal server errors.
location	PathToFile or FileURL	Contains the location of the resource, either as a path to a file in a context or as a complete URL. For example, a value of /examples/500.html declares that the error-page is a file named 500.html located at the root level of the examples context. For a complete URL, the servlet container returns the contents of an HTTP request to the location. For example, the value http://other.com/404.html states that the container should return the result of the HTTP request.

Table 7 describes the elements that configure the mapping between a file extension and a MIME type.

mime-mapping	extension mime-type	Defines a mapping between a file extension and a MIME type.
