If the webapp catches the exception, then how could you expect Tomcat to process it? > And FYI, I tried it with a space and without.

Pretty much any string of Unicode characters is syntactically valid for most XML attributes; it's the semantics of the value that are important, and clearly, no class name should have a space in it (although, technically, spaces are allowed). Note that the value for an <exception-type> must be a class name, nothing more. There's no mechanism defined in the servlet spec to utilized attributes of an exception, which is what you're trying to do. If you have control of the webapp, you could have it catch that particular exception and then rethrow some unique type that could be declared in <exception-type>. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
