[jetty-users] Question about ErrorHandler

[Silvio Bierman <sbierman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I am using an embedded Jetty 10.0.7 server and want to implement an 
ErrorHandler at the ServletContext level. The idea is to implement the 
ErrorHandler#handle method by forwarding it to the servlet instance. My 
application has one single Servlet instance that forwards requests to 
specialized local handlers (based on application level path mappings) 
and I want to forward error handling to these same local scopes.

Is there a way to get the servlet instance from the parameters passed to 
the ErrorHandler#handle method? Or does the ErrorHandler provide any 
other means of getting that reference?

I can get the ServletContext from the request but I am not aware of any 
method to get a reference to the Servlet instance. I could add that as a 
request attribute inside the service method but that just feels 
backwards. I am probably going at this from the wrong end so if anyone 
has suggestions that would be great.

Kind regards,

Silvio
