VelocityViewServlet - Can it throw errors instead of displaying?

[Joe Toth]

I use the VelocityViewServlet and whenever I have something like a 
nullpointerexception it looks like the servlet does not throw the error, 
instead it catches it and displays
VelocityViewServlet : Error processing the template I wanted to know if 
there is anyway to make it just throw the error, so the servlet container 
can handle it? I want to just display a generic error message instead.

Thanks
