how can I make my custom error pages using "errorPage" and "isErrorPage"
In head first Servlets and JSP they have mentioned that by making errorPage="true" we can run the page. But in my case it ends up with an tomcat error page. But using my errorPage="false" it solves the problem.
I think my syntax is wrong. Can anybody solve this problem

Try this

errorPage.jsp
<%@ page isErrorPage="true"%>
<html><body>
<strong>Divide by 0 is not allowed</strong>
</body></html>
badPage.jsp
<%@ page errorPage="errorPage.jsp"%>
<html><body>
This is bad
<% int i=10/0; %>
</body></html>

From your first post, I am not sure if this is a typo or something you stated [errorPage="true"/"false"]. The errorPage attribute of the page directive is to indicate which page it goes when an exception is thrown from that jsp.
E.g.

[file : PageOne.jsp]
<%@ page errorPage="/errorpage.jsp" %>
<%=10/0%>

In case of exception thrown[in the above code, an ArithmeticException will be thrown], and the errorpage.jsp will be displayed. If you want to access your implicit exception object in the errorpage.jsp, you need to indicated in its page directive as :

<$@ page isErrorPage="true" %>

The isErroPage attribute of the page directive.

Hope this helps.

A trivial question - which page do you access with your browser? errorPage.jsp or badPage.jsp?

<%@ page import="com.sisl.group.*"%>
<%@ page import="com.sisl.doorutility.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.Vector"%>
<%@ page errorPage="ErrorPage.jsp"%>

in this case just writing this code in your jsp

and in the ErrorPage.jsp write
<%@ page isErrorPage="true"%>

it should work

If you could post the page directive of both pages, we might spot something.

mypage.jsp
<%@ page errorPage="MyErrorPage.jsp"%>
<html>
<body>
<%
int x=10/0;
%>
</html>
</body>

my error page is,
<%@ page isErrorPage="true" %>
<html>
<body>
<H1>Error!</H1>
</html>
</body>

I accessed the mypage.jsp but it doesn't work
My making isErrorPage="false", it solves the problem

Hmm...
I saw what you mean, I guess you are using IE 6. Try it with other browser like Mozilla, Fire Fox, etc...

you may check the details here :
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31072

disable the "Show friendly HTTP error pages" in the Advanced Settings
of your IE will make it working perfectly

As it should. The isErrorPage="true" does nothing more than give your error page access to the implicit exception object.

Put ${pageContext.exception} in your error page and try it with isErrorPage="true" and then with it as false. You will see a difference.

See HF pg. 461 for more info.

Thank you Mark but it didn't solve

my bad page is,
<%@ page errorPage="errorpage.jsp" %>
<html>
<body>
<%
int x=10/0;
%>
</body>
</html>

error page is,
<%@ page isErrorPage="false" %>
<html>
<body>

Error !${pageContext.exception}

</body>
</html>

but it worked for both "true" and "false"

Is anybody having this problem like me?
It is confusing. We can't prodict that every IE user to turn off friendly error messages. So this will result in failure.

Can you describe what "it worked" means? What do you get?

It gave the custom error page which I created for both "true" and "false".
It supposed to give tomcat error page for "false"

No, it's not. Who told you it should?

You did not read what I wrote:
The isErrorPage="true" does nothing more than give your error page access to the implicit exception object.

You really should read page 461 of HFSJ.
