Instead of triggering an exception, what happens when you use HttpSessionResponse.setStatus(500) in a servlet?
I would not consider this to be a bug in Tomcat. How does Resin behave, for example?
Perhaps a different solution that might work would be to declare the following:
<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
<location>/general_error.html</location>
</error-page>
See what that does for you...

I have configured my webapp to serve up error pages via the web.xml file: <error-page> <error-code>500</error-code> <location>/general_error.html</location> </error-page> <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/general_error.html</location> </error-page>This works without a problem for 404 errors, but 500 errors (such as NullPointerExceptions) are not redirecting to the general_error.html page. Is there a reason for this or is it a bug in tomcat 4.0.4?
