ADF BC/ Faces - Friendly HTTP-500's

Question

Hi,
Is there any way to trap JBO's that cause HTTP 500's? I have a facesMessage component on my page, but occasionally I get exceptions that render just the Internal Server Error and full stack trace to the user.
Is there any way to direct the user to a "something went wrong" page with the same look and feel as the application or is thus done in the apache config?
thanks,
Brenden

Frank, I found a reference to this in the ADF BC Developers Guide under: 11.4.3.2 Displaying Errors
i have defined the error as follows in the web.xml
<error-page>
    <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
    <location>/faces/ApplicationError.jsp</location>
    </error-page>and the additional entry under the ADF Faces Filter mapping as per the user guide:
<filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>adfFaces</filter-name>
        <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
        <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
        <dispatcher>ERROR</dispatcher>
    </filter-mapping>unfortunately the ADF BC Developer’s Guide For Forms/4GL Developers references <location>/faces/infrastructure/SRError.jspx</location> but this doesn't seem to be included in the BC or Toplink SRDemo applications.
I get the following instead of my error page:
Recursive error in error-page calling for /faces/ApplicationError.jsp, see the application log for details.
My application error page does run by itself without error.
(nothing in the OC4J log except for the error JBO causing the http 500 which i am forcing at the moment).
can you spot something I have missed?
