Transformation errors

Most errors are printed in the server log or returned to the browser as an error page.

Note: For more detailed output, you can use the pdweb.http.transformation component to trace the HTTP transformation processing. This component traces the header information in the request, which might contain sensitive information. For example, a BA header.

Invalid rules file

If an invalid rules file is supplied to WebSEAL as part of the configuration then:
  • The server will fail to start.
  • An appropriate error will be logged.

Undefined resource

If you specify a resource in a POP that is not defined in the WebSEAL configuration file, a warning message will be printed in the server log.

HTTP transformation error

If an error occurs during HTTP transformation processing, a 500 Internal Server Error is returned to the browser.

WebSEAL error responses

WebSEAL error responses (not related to HTTP transformation processing) will be transformed if there is an appropriate POP attached to the junction or object that caused the error.
