That's exactly what I have done. I have even tested it by having a servlet do a int i = 500/0; which causes a 500 error and a divide by zero exception which invokes the page correctly with the error and the stack trace; however, sometimes for errors (like trying to access a null object) the page is not invoked but there's a stack trace in the logs.
In Response To: try to put something like this into your web.xml (i hope that is what you've been asking for): <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type> <location>/errorPages/generalError.html</location> </error-page> That page should just display some message like "general error occured, please report to webmaster... ". The error itself you then should find in your logs.
