How to display background image when url-pattern is wrong

Question

web.xml mapping is

<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

ErrorHandler servlet makes request

RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("error.jsp");
view.forward(request, response);

jsp error-page contains the style

body {
        background-image: url(err-images/fon.png);
    }

How to display background image in error-page when url-pattern is wrong, for example http://localhost:8080/WEBSearchPrime_JB/wrong/register.xhtml

well, at leats one solution is to upload images to external hosting and using the absolute urls :)

Add a separate Page for the errors and configure the errors with their status port in web.xml file. like this

      <error-page>
      <error-code>400</error-code>
      <location>/WEB-INF/jsp/errorpages/ErrorPage400.jsp</location>
      </error-page>

Like for wrong URL it will throws error msg with status port 404.

There is no problem with opening error pages for me. The project error page opens but the images is not displaed. – andy007 Jun 01 '15 at 06:12
body { background-image: url(/err-images/fon.png); } or use this – Naveen Kumar Mishra Jun 01 '15 at 06:20
also You can check is any other css file is included on page try this also in the html/jsp page itself in body tag – Naveen Kumar Mishra Jun 01 '15 at 06:24

have you tried it with `jsf` project where `Faces Servlet` mapped to `/faces/*`? and that error page should appears with wrong path mapping, for example `http://localhost:8080/appname/wrong/pagename.xhtml` – andy007 Jun 01 '15 at 07:34
@BalusC i have that's why i suggested him to put the css explicitly in html tag only.if its a problem of jsf then the error page itself will not be rendered there. So defiantly its problem with image path or other css(may be included ) creating the problem . – Naveen Kumar Mishra Jun 01 '15 at 08:22
