It seems like a bug in (exact version) tomcat 5.5.17:
As defined per spec 2.4... I have stripped the problem to three files. The servlet conteiner is not unwrapping the ServletException as defined in the spec. Result: error 500. Expected result: server side redirect to error.jsp Important test case: a.jsp: <% java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("aaaa"); %> web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"> <error-page> <exception-type>java.sql.SQLException</exception-type> <location>/error.jsp</location> </error-page> </web-app> error.jsp: <html> error </html> Should I send it to bugreport/jira tracker? I don't know how to create a test case for such web app test using tomcat, so I simplified the test as much as I could.
