Tomcat 8.5.50 the ErrorReportValve is not working

Switching from apache-tomcat-8.5.23 to apache-tomcat-8.5.50 configuring the ErrorReportValve is not working. I have set below in 8.5.23 and it worked ( Tomcat does not show server info or error).

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve"
       showReport="false"
       showServerInfo="false"/>

After upgrade to 8.5.50 the tomcat shows server info and report, even I have set it to false

This is the sample stack trace and server info which is shown by Tomcat

Tomcat error

Any comments?

Solution

  • You should set the configuration on the <Host> section in file server.xml.

    <Host autoDeploy="false"
      appBase="webapps"
      name="localhost"
      unpackWARs="false">

    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve"
           showReport="false"
           showServerInfo="false"/>

    ...

</Host>
