You can customize Tomcat error page with error code:
or Java exception type:
Either
Customizing error pages is about the only way to suppress the default stack trace in Tomcat in case of an unhandled exception.
<error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/error/404.html</location> </error-page> <error-page> <error-code>500</error-code> <location>/error/500.html</location> </error-page>
or Java exception type:
<error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type> <location>/error/500.html</location> </error-page>
Either
error-code or exception-type is required, but not both. There's no way to aggregate error codes, such as:
<!-- This does not work! --> <error-page> <error-code>500,503</error-code> </error-page>
