How do I configure Apache to redirect 404 errors to a Tomcat servlet, without losing any POSTed form data from the original request?

Garbagnati (http://www.jguru.com/guru/viewbio.jsp?EID=32727) Question originally posed by Alex Levy (http://www.jguru.com/guru/viewbio.jsp?EID=300869 According to the Apache documentation the ErrorDocument configuration directive should be used exactly for this purpose. The documentation is located at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#errordocument”, and in the http.conf.default file that is generated during the installation there are a few examples: # # Customizable error response (Apache style) # these come in three flavors # # 1) plain text #ErrorDocument 500 “The server made a boo boo. # n.b. the single leading (“) marks it as text, it does not get output # # 2) local redirects #ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html # to redirect to local URL /missing.html #ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/missing_handler.pl # N.B.: You can redirect to a script or a document using server-side-includes. #
