[Jetty-support] Error-Handling in Jetty

[Martin M. <mar...@gm...>]

I'm having a problem here with Jetty, which I don't have with Tomcat,
so I thought I might ask here.

I'm working with a typical MVC based framework (JSF, to be more
precise) and have a Front-Controller, and at the end of the
controlling-lifecycle, a forward to a JSP-page. In Tomcat, if an
exception in the JSP-code occurrs, the exception is passed down to the
controller servlet, and I can act accordingly. In jetty, the same
exception results in an error-page being displayed by Jetty. I wonder
if Jetty is displaying this error-page to early, e.g. it should pass
the exception up all hierarchies, also to my controller-servlet, and
only at the end of the processing chain, handle the exception?

regards,

Martin

P.S.: More Info:

Here the stacktrace I see in my logs (it's logged, but I don't get the
exception in the FacesServlet, which is in the call-chain, as you can
see):
