If you really need to, you can wrap one exception inside the other, e.g.
throw new ServletException(new UnavailableException("my unavaiable
message"));
and I think you'll find that the Tomcat error page (or your own custom error
page, if configured) will automatically strip the outer ServletException
layer off and report the underlying UnavailableException.
I think your problelm might be related to my previous post regarding a
similar issue with ServletException:

he.org&msgNo=158528
I have also submitted a report to the JSR154 team as suggested by Yoav. Let
me know if your problem is similar, and I'll add it to my report.
