I am trying to override tomcat error pages, and I have tried various combinations of the <error-pages> 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) call. This call doesn't seem to happen in the normal request processing loop, and hence the <error-pages> is never used and a generic tomcat error is returned. Is there anyway to override this error even when outside the context of a request/reply? Any info on how the error is returned without a request/reply would be greatly appreciated. -Adam Parker
