I am using jboss 3.2.3, tomcat 4.1.29, apache 2.0.54 with mod_jk 1.2.8 and when redirecting to a custom error page. They all work fine when directly connecting to tomcat on port 8080. However when connecting through apache the error page that should come up associated to exception-type does not come up. The error-code custom pages do though. Why is this exception type being treated differently and how can I get this to work?

Here is part of my web.xml config.

<error-page>
 <exception-type>java.lang.Object</exception-type>
 <location>/commonweb/error/errorRedirect.jsp?code=-1</location>
 </error-page>

 <error-page>
 <error-code>404</error-code>
 <location>/commonweb/error/errorRedirect.jsp?code=404</location>
 </error-page>

 <error-page>
 <error-code>500</error-code>
 <location>/commonweb/error/errorRedirect.jsp?code=500</location>
 </error-page>
