Well, you can't do it directly with an error page, the <location> element's body is required to contain an application-relative resource. Since you're using TC 4.x, you could take adavantage of JSTL to do something like:
web.xml: <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/error/404.jsp</location> </error-page> /error/404.jsp: <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %> <c:import url="/error/404.html" context="/otherContext"/> This is equivalent to using the following in a servlet: ServletContext foreign = getServletContext().getContext("/otherContext"); RequestDispatcher rd = foreign.getRequestDispatcher("/error/404.html"); rd.include(request, response); So, the error page is still part of the app, it just imports a foreign resource to display the error message. Will that work for what you want to do?
