Thank you for the reply. I should be clearer. We are developing a struts app and I am using tiles and declarative error handling features. My goal is to have the user only my error pages (not server errors ect.) I know that certain errors fall outside of the struts controller.
Over the course of development, I have triggered the odd 404,400, and 500 tomcat error page. In web.xml i was able to map 404 and 400 but not 500. I can simulate each error: 404 - calling a non existent page 400 - calling a non existent action mapping 500 - calling without a web app context: ie /action.do instead of /myApp/action.do (I'm sure there are other ways..) The reason I posted to this list is that I am under the understanding that I could map any error code to a page. Am I wrong? <!-- This works...--> <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/error/ServerError404Page.jsp</location> </error-page> <error-page> <error-code>400</error-code> <location>/error/Server400ErrorPage.jsp</location> </error-page> <!-- this does not work - why? --> <error-page> <error-code>500</error-code> <location>/error/Server500ErrorPage.jsp</location> </error-page> Thanks for the help..

The only way to know for sure is to examine the exception traceback that is presented in the response and/or in the log files created by Tomcat in the $CATALINA_HOME/logs directory. Just for fun, run the following JSP page and see what you get: <% int i = 5; int j = 0; int k = i / j; %> and examine the stack trace that shows up (a divide by zero error). That's an application programming error, and nothing to do with the container.
