Hi Álvaro,

There are so many posts available SDN regarding custom error messages on portal. However, have a look at the following links. They might give you good idea.

Hi Alvaro,

The standard Error messages can be customized for every application in Portal.

Just browse for your deployed component in Portal server and find the web.xml file.

For example in case you want to change the standard error message of Portal irj, then go to below path in server.

usr/sap/<Portal ID>/<Instance>/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/

Place the custom error pages (html /jsp files) in root folder and edit the last section of web.xml file to refer to the custom error pages path as given below.

<error-page>

<error-code>500</error-code>

<location>/Error_Pages/500.jsp</location>

</error-page>

<error-page>

<exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>

<location>/Error_Pages/SearchError.jsp</location>

</error-page>

</web-app>

You can indivisually do this for any application deployed in irj, Portal.

Hi Santosh,

Can you tell me how can we show custom error message for individual application.

I want to stop users from accessing the portal roles directly using the direct URL for these roles. And the standard error message we get is "Page not found". I have placed the code in web.xml file, I got the exception from the trace logs. As mentioned I have created a folder with the html file and placed it in root directory. In web.xml I have mentioned

<error-page>

<error-code>404</error-code>

<location>/Error_Pages/404.html</location>

</error-page>

<error-page>

<error-code>500</error-code>

<location>/Error_Pages/500.html</location>

</error-page>

<error-page>

<exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>

<location>/Error_Pages/SearchError.jsp</location>

</error-page>

This code does seem to be working of me.

Kindly help.

Thanks
