Problem with web.xml not invoking servlet filter

[Rick Wong]

Hi,
I am using Tomcat 5.  In my application, my web.xml declares a <filter>, 
and a global error page

<error-page>
   <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
   <location>/error.jsp</location>
</error-page>
By examining the call stack in my error page JSP, I notice that when 
this error page is invoked, my filter is not called.  However, if I 
define <%@ page errorPage="/error.jsp" %> in my JSP file, my <filter> is 
invoked (and as a part of the call stack).

Is this a Tomcat bug?  Or does this behavior conform with the Servlet 
2.4 spec?

Thanks,

Rick
