Yes, your servlets are supposed to extend HttpServlet, not just
implement the Servlet interface. I don't know if that's related to
your problem.
I'd say the next thing to look for is an error in your custom error
page. That would cause the output you're seeing. Is your error page a
JSP file? Try r
Thanks again for all the replies. Now time for some more details.
Our app is running as the ROOT application. I removed everything else from
ROOT and replaced it with our code. There is only one servlet running in
this app, so if it fails no other apps or servlets are running.

After some further messing about, I can't make custom error pages fail
by throwing any sort of exception from a servlet's init() method. Even
UnavailableException doesn't break the error page.
The only time I lose my custom error pages is when the entire web app
is down, not just the one servlet.

web app is not running. There's a specific exception,
UnavailableException, that tells Tomcat to remove the servlet from
service. Is your servlet throwing that exception?

Thanks for the reply, at least I know someone else has gotten it to work at
this point.
Sorry for the lack of information. I am on a deadline and trying to do too
many things at once. I've included all the important things I can think of

I do get my custom error page when an error happens in a servlet
init() method. But you didn't give many details about your problem, so
I can't say whether you should be seeing custom error pages on your
system.
First of all, you didn't say what version of Tomcat you're using. If
it's older than 5
I am trying to override tomcat error pages, and I have tried various
combinations of the element in both the global web.xml, and my
application web.xml. Nothing is working.
After some research I believe the problem is that the error I am looking at
actually occurs in the servlet.init(config) cal
