This isn't going to work :-(
The reason is that Valves are processed *before* the webapp-related things
are, so things like error page directives are not invoked on the return
value from a Valve.
A possible alternative would be to implement your ManagerValve
functionality as a Filter instead. That way, it would be processed
"inside" the webapp, and error pages would be applied.
As an extra added bonus, you would be portable to other containers as well
:-).
