Description

I am having a problem with an application that uploads an XML file. The problem occurs when an attempt is made to upload a corrupt XML file. It appears that BSIMSActionServlet (a subclass of ActionServlet) catches the error but my Global Exception Handler that I have defined never gets called.

The browser displays the message 'The page cannot be displayed - The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.' Ideally, I would like my general exception handler to catch this error and display a more meaningful error, but it looks like my general exception handler is never called.

Am I right in thinking my general exception handler should be able to catch this error?

Regards,
Graeme
