How configure 9iAS logon to return database error messages (i.e., user locked)

Question

When the database user is in locked status or the user's password has expired the Apache logon returns a generic screen 'Database Log In Failed' after three attempts. When you logon outside the web interface then you get the error number and message returned. How can Oracle Apache be configured to return the database errors at logon.

Mayu,
Look at what is done in the UpdateAction code.
try
catch (JboException ex)
errors = buildErrorsFromException(request, ex);
Then call saveErrors on the action:
saveErrors(request, errors);
In the html you need to display the error using the errors tag:
<html:errors/>
An other way to do it but not as flexible is to use a global exception.
<global-exceptions>
<exception type="oracle.jbo.JboException" path="/errorpage.jsp" key="globalerror.jboException"/>
</global-exceptions>
You would list the specific exception and errorpage needed.
