Thanks for your reply.

This would be one possibility. I tried to realize this, but in some
cases a browser specific error page is displayed instead of a
customizable tomcat error page. For example if in the server.xml
clientauth="true" you dont get any http error codes.

OK, the http traffic happens after ssl authentification, so I can
imagine that this has good reasons.

But maybe there is a way...
