The Servlet 3.0 specification states that a global error message can be listed in the web.xml to encompass all server errors.

Example:

<error-page>
    <location>/error.jsp</location>
</error-page>

Old Method:

<error-page>
    <error-code>401</error-code>
    <location>/error.jsp</location>
</error-page>

When adding this new method to my web.xml in Tomcat 7, it does not work. How is this caused and how can I solve it?
