Can someone explain the relationship between the <error-page> element in my webapp's WEB.XML versus the "errorPage" attribute of the page directive within a JSP? I'm trying to create a single error page that handles any exceptions generated by the JSPs within my webapp, without having to name the error page in every JSP.
To start with, I added the following to my web app's WEB.XML to indicate a "catch all" error page for the app: <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type> <location>/error.jsp</location> </error-page> I also marked ERROR.JSP as an error page by including the following at the top (note the isErrorPage attribute): <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" buffer="64kb" isErrorPage="true" %> Unfortunately, when trying to access the "exception" object in ERROR.JSP, I get a NullPointerException, as though it doesn't exist. Since I thought this should work, I must be missing something? (I'm using Tomcat 4.0.4, by the way.) Thanks.
