How to Properly Handle Exceptions in a JSP/Servlet App?

Question

How do you properly handle errors encountered in a servlet? Right now, the app that I inherited (uses only plain JSP/Servlet) has a superclass called Controller

Answer 1

In JSP you can use jstl core library

1) Import tablib on top of JSP file

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

2) use tag

    Code that might throw Exception



    There was an exception: ${myExceptionObject.message}
