Yes, the location element should start with a '/'
Let's say you wanted to map an exception of class MyException to a particular error page. There may be several pages that could throw MyException and these pages could be located in different directories. Thus, you cannot have the error page mapped to a page relative location, because you don't know which pages are going to throw MyException. A root relative location will always work properly no matter which page throws MyException.
