Tomcat is following the spec in this case. The handling for exceptions is defined to be separate from the handling for "status" errors such as 404. So <exception-type> applies to the exeception handling and <error-code> applies to the "status" error handling. The spec doesn't state that the exception handling should delegate to the "status" error handling after assigning the 500 status code. It simply requires that the status code of the response generated by the exception handling be 500.
