Well, it seems to come up quite frequently on the web and in the talk-groups that the error-page for 500 errors does not work. In reading the spec. I have found a work-around though.
<error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type> <location>/jsp/error500.jsp</location> </error-page> this will work for all sub-classes of Exception and as this includes all classes that cause and error 500 then it works well. It would be nice to have it work correctly though! Even in the early version of 5.0.x it seems to have been not working again after being fixed late in the 4.1.x line.

Hello, I am trying to implement error pages for my site. They seem to work when I specify the particular exception in the web.xml file thus: <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.NullPointerException</exception-type> <location>/jsp/error500.jsp</location> </error-page> but not when I specify the error number as below. What happens is that when I have both of these entries in the web.xml and I put a divide by zero error into my code to test it then it brings up the default Tomcat error page with the Exception and the 500 at the top? <error-page> <error-code>500</error-code> <location>/jsp/error500.jsp</location> </error-page> Am I missing something?
