One would think the answer to this question is all over the web. But honestly, I can't find any good answers.

I want to customize (or redirect) the 400-500 errors running on my apache tomcat server.

Oddly, the current 404 message is blank.. doesn't even say 404??

The source of the page is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>


I've edited the web.xml file here at the very bottom and restarted the server:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\web.xml

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/error404.jsp</location>
</error-page>

</web-app>

Do I need to move this file to somewhere else, like under the webapps directory?

Also, I placed the error404.jsp page isnide this directory:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\Catalina\localhost

So, I'm lost... thank you for your help.
