I don't really understand your question apart from the problem that all exceptions shows your error page. This is because you have set up Throwable in your web.xml file.
"The Throwable class is the superclass of all errors and exceptions in the Java language. " is a snippet from the documentation. I suggest you make more mappings, one for each exception you want to show a specific errorpage for. I think it would be a good idea to maybe make your own exceptions that trigger the error page.

Hello, If I use error-page in web.xml, jsp compile and runtime errors are going to the error handler. If you use errorPage='error.jsp' only runtime errors are handled by my error page. I put this in my web.xml: <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type> <location>/progs/error.jsp</location> </error-page> Now all exceptions are redirected to my error page. If Jasper throws an JasperException, because of a JSP compile error it is also handled by this page, but there is no exception in the error.jsp page. Because it is probably handled as a '500 Interal Server Error'. How can I get the error/exception of this in my error.jsp? If I put errorPage='/progs/error.jsp' in the jsp page, compile errors are displayed by tomcat and runtime error are redirected to my errorpage. I hope my question is clear.
