The problem is that by the time the error occurs in your JSP, the response has
already been committed. When Tomcat tries to issue the redirect to the error
page, it fails. Your only recouse is to increase the size of the response
buffer. To be robust, the buffer would need to be at least as large as your
heaviest page... Not great, but about all you can do.
BTW, using a Struts action for the error page should be fine I think; a
'resource' in a web application is anything addressed by a URL, effectively.
Just make sure that your error page processing is robust -- i.e. it needs to
catch and handle any exceptions itself.

I tried setting my error page directive to:
<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type>
<location>/errorPage.jsp</location>
</error-page>
I am still getting an IllegalStateException.
That seems weird to me.

The reason I need to execute code is for me to send an error report
to the site admin.
Have you tried using an actual file (.jsp or .html) that does
nothing but
forward or redirect to the Struts action? Or perhaps... can
you just call
the whatever-sends-the-email from the JSP?
Let me know if you get <location> to work with a path that's
not an actual
file, I haven't been able to find anything definitive that
says you can't,
but it never worked for me.
