Are you sure?
I set my browser to show friendly http error messages and went to a page
which does not exist. And I get the errorpage as defined in my web.xml
Visit this page to test :
http://www.batborsen.com/bb/se/this_page_does_not_exist.html
the errorpage tag in web.xml looks like this
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<!--
<exception-type>javax.servlet.jsp.JspException</exception-type>-->
<location>se/batborsen_error.html</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
<error-code>500</error-code>
<!--<exception-type>javax.servlet.jsp.JspException</exception-type>-->
<location>se/batborsen_error.html</location>
</error-page>
take an extra look at the location tag...
I am using IE6
