A simple [JSP](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/jsp/index.html) Tag Library to display the [code](#hscode), [reason](#hsreason), [cause](#hscode) and/or [message](#hsmessage) for [HTTP status codes](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html) in JSP error pages.
For example:
```jsp
<%@ page isErrorPage="true" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="hs" uri="http://erik.thauvin.net/taglibs/httpstatus" %>
Cause:
Message:
...
```
or
```jsp
<%@ page isErrorPage="true" import="net.thauvin.erik.httpstatus.Reasons" %>
<%= Reasons.getReasonPhrase(pageContext.getErrorData().getStatusCode()) %>
```
would display on a [501 status code](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.5.2):
Not Implemented
## Usage with [Gradle](https://gradle.org/) or [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/)
Include the following in your `build.gradle` file:
```gradle
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation 'net.thauvin.erik.httpstatus:httpstatus:1.0.5'
}
```
or as a Maven artifact:
```xml
net.thauvin.erik.httpstatus
httpstatus
1.0.5
```
## hs:cause
The `` tag displays the cause of current HTTP status code, if any. A shorthand for:
```jsp
<%= pageContext.getErrorData().getThrowable().getCause().getLocalizedMessage() %>
```
Optional attributes are:
| Attribute | Description |
|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `default` | The fallback value to output, if no cause is |
| `escapeXml` | Converts <, >, &, ', " to their corresponding [entity codes](http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref). Value is `true` by default. |
## hs:code
The `` tag displays the current HTTP status code, if any. A shorthand for:
```jsp
<%= pageContext.getErrorData().getStatusCode() %>
```
## hs:message
The `` tag displays the current error message, if any. A shorthand for:
```jsp
<%= request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.error.message") %>
```
Optional attributes are:
| Attribute | Description |
|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `default` | The fallback value to output, if no error message is available. |
| `escapeXml` | Converts <, >, &, ', " to their corresponding [entity codes](http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref). Value is `true` by default. |
## hs:reason
The `` tag displays the reason for a HTTP status code, if any. Optional attributes are:
| Attribute | Description |
|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `default` | The fallback value to output, if no reason is available. |
| `code` | The HTTP status error code. If not specified the current status code is used. |
| `escapeXml` | Converts <, >, &, ', " to their corresponding [entity codes](http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref). Value is `true` by default. |
## StatusCode Bean
The `StatusCode` bean can be used to check the class of the status code error. For example, using the JSTL:
```jsp
<%@ taglib prefix="hs" uri="http://erik.thauvin.net/taglibs/httpstatus" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
An error occurred on your side. ()
An error occurred on our side. ()
```
or in a Servlet:
```java
import net.thauvin.erik.httpstatus.StatusCode;
// ---
StatusCode statusCode = new StatusCode((Integer) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.error.status_code"));
if (statusCode.isError()) {
if (statusCode.isServerError()) {
String reason = statusCode.getReason();
} else {
// ...
}
}
```
The `StatusCode` bean methods are:
| Method | Description |
|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `getReason` | Returns the reason for the status code (eg: `Internal Server Error`) |
| `isClientError` | Checks if the status code is a client error. |
| `isError` | Checks if the status code is a server or client error. |
| `isInfo` | Checks if the status code is informational. |
| `isRedirect` | Checks if the status code is a redirect. |
| `isServerError` | Checks if the status code is a server error. |
| `isSuccess` | Checks if the status code is a success. (`OK`) |
| `isValid` | Checks if the status code is valid. |
## Reasons
The reasons are defined in a [ResourceBundle](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/ResourceBundle.html) properties as follows:
