Thanks Kris, This works fine if the error page is another Tomcat context, but I was wondering if there was an elegant way to set this up in the httpd.conf or server.xml, without the need for an error-handling jsp to do the rerouting.
I will probably just go that route, since it won't be difficult to write, but further ideas are appreciated.
