I have the following entered into my web.xml: <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/servlet/RequestParameterAction</location> </error-page> This works fine. In the servlet I forward on to an appropriate page after some processing. What I am trying to do now is capture the incorrect URL. However, when I get the request URI/URL all I get is the servlet address, for example: /mycontext/servlet/RequestParameterAction Is there a way to programmatically trap the URL that threw the 404 error? I'd prefer to not have to go and tweak the webserver settings. I'm running this application under JRun 3.1, although I've tested it under 4.0 and get the same results. Thanks!

I imagine you could check the response code on the way out to see if it's a 404.
