isErrorPage page directive

[Kishore Balla]

My error.jsp file doesn't have isErroPage="true" page directive..

But Still incase of exception.. request is getting forwarded to error.jsp..

In HSFJ, its mentioned that..

The exception implicit object is available ONLY to error pages with an explicitly-defined page directive...

But my error.jsp doesn't have isErrorPage page directive.. but still its priniting the exception object.. Is it a bug aka feature in Tomcat.. or is this behaviour the same with all containers...

In error page exception object becomes available only in case when the
<%@ page isErrorPage="true"%> tag is defined. (Tested with websphere server)
If this is available even without using this tag, this may be special feature of tomcat
