--- Comment #7 from Keith Donald <keith.don...@gmail.com> 2012-03-30 20:17:10 UTC --- The XSD for Servlet 3.0's web.xml clearly allows a <error-page> element containing only a <location> sub-element. Older versions of the XSD do not. This is an indication this is a Servlet 3.0 feature. This feature is useful. Most REST API implementations need to report unhandled errors the same way: by returning a JSON body containing the error message (reason). Having to define a error-page entry for each error code that may be set by the application via HttpServletResponse#sendError is more work than it should be. Having a single error-page entry for a default error handler is a lot simpler and future proof. I consider this a bug in Tomcat 7.
