Subject: Re: displaying "friendly" error page
yep - you would do this in apache. what is happening behind the scenes is
that apache is unable to contact tomcat and hence has a bit of a dummy
spit. open up httpd.conf and find the ErrorDocument 500 line (generally
there but commented) and point it at your friendly page.
