Stripes Exception Handler error

Question

I have an index.jsp file in "/" with content as follows:

<%@include file="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/taglibs.jsp" %>

    <c:choose>
        <c:when test='<%=session.getAttribute("consumer") != null%>'>
            <jsp:forward page="/Ledger.action"/>
        </c:when>
        <c:otherwise>
            <jsp:forward page="/Login.action"/>             
        </c:otherwise>
    </c:choose>

In my web.xml file I have placed an entry like this:

  <error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/index.jsp</location>
  </error-page>

I have written a custom exception handler as follows:

public class MyExceptionHandler extends DefaultExceptionHandler {
    public Resolution catchActionBeanNotFound(
                ActionBeanNotFoundException exc,
                HttpServletRequest request,
                HttpServletResponse response
            ) {
        return new ErrorResolution(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
    }
}

When the users are not signed in, means 'session.getAttribute("consumer") == null' if we use an invalid url, it will be redirected to the 'Login.action' page, but after signing in, on using invalid urls I am getting a HTTP Status 404 error from tomcat instead of redirecting to 'Ledger.action'

In eclipse console, I am getting an error as follows:

SEVERE: Exception Processing ErrorPage[errorCode=404, location=/index.jsp] org.apache.jasper.JasperException: A request made it through to some part of Stripes without being wrapped in a StripesRequestWrapper. The StripesFilter is responsible for wrapping the request, so it is likely that either the StripesFilter is not deployed, or that its mappings do not include the DispatcherServlet and *.jsp. Stripes does not require that the Stripes wrapper is the only request wrapper, or the outermost; only that it is present.

Following is my web.xml file:

Answer 1

I had to add the following in filter-mapping section of web.xml:

<dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher>

Then the whole entry will look like:

  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>StripesFilter</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>DispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher>
  </filter-mapping>

I have found the answer on this link
