Struts isn't catching this exception because you're throwing it in a JSP page which is being accessed outside the Struts servlet (directly via a URL).
Try throwing the exception in a Struts action and see what happens. But even if you do that you'll run into a problem with the current setup. You're asking Struts to "intercept" an exception called somepackage.CustomException but are throwing java.lang.Exception. So Struts will just ignore it since the thrown exception is not a CustomException. Try throwing CustomException instead of Exception OR change your Struts config to look for java.lang.Exception.
