I still need helps.
Here is the web.xml
...
<login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>TESTING</realm-name>  
  </login-config>
 
   <error-page>
    <error-code>401</error-code>
    <location>/error.html</location>
  </error-page>
...
The error.html is replaced the 401 error message, however there will be no 
authentication window prompted, error.html is somehow loaded all the time.

Thanks,
Jill

Yes. See the section of web.xml that has <error-page> entries.
