Get back to the default Tomcat error page on a redirected error page

Question

I am building a java web app using Tomcat.

Using something like this:

<error-page>
    <error-code>500</error-code>
    <location>/error.jsp</location>
</error-page>

In the web.xml, I redirect to a user-friendly error page, if the server respond with an error.

I also want to put a link on this user-friendly error.jsp page (name Technical Spec), so that when the user clicks it, he/she gets back to the original Tomcat error page.

Is it possible to achieve that ? If yes, how would I go about doing that?

i would rather suggest you to use `Exception` object in your`error.jsp` and use this object to `getMessage()` and `getStacktrace()` in your jsp page — AnkeyNigam, Jul 23 '15 at 19:39

I don't know if it's possible but you can still access the error/exception's tech details on the redirected page check this post Where you'll find details on the below:

If you declare <%@page isErrorPage="true" %> in top of error.jsp, then you have access to the thrown Exception (and thus also all of its getters) by ${exception} in EL.
