Hi,
How is your <error-page> named?
I use JSP and have found, that the <error-page> itself has to be a
.jsp-file.
With .html it did not work (Tomcat 3.2b6). Haven't tested 3.2 (final).
But I don't expect any changes.
Try to name your error-page a .jsp-file and retry it. Perhaps it works.
regards,
Thomas

Thanks for your response. The solution really sounds good.
But just for information, can you comment on the <error-pages> tag not
working in the deployment descriptor of Tomcat 3.2
Anybody else who has been successful with this can also plese comment.
Regards
Pankaj
