I already have two web pages designed for 404 and 500 error pages in web.xml 

 <error-page>
        <error-code>404</error-code>
        <location>/WEB-INF/error/404.jsp</location>
    </error-page>
    <error-page>
        <error-code>500</error-code>
        <location>/WEB-INF/error/500.jsp</location>
    </error-page>

I want to redirect to a predesignated page for all the other errors.
Please help. Thank you

This should be sufficient, along with few customer error related pages, you can add default page. So all error other than 404, 500 , will be redirected to generic page error.html

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

or more customized, using Exception class, can be your custom exception class as well.

<error-page>
  <exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type>
  <location>/error.html</location>
</error-page>

So code becomes,

<error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/WEB-INF/error/404.jsp</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
    <error-code>500</error-code>
    <location>/WEB-INF/error/500.jsp</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
    <location>/error.html</location>
</error-page>

You could do the following to tackle 400 and 500 status error codes.

Add the below lines in web.xml files

<error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/WEB-INF/error/404.jsp</location>
</error-page>

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

In addition to above, you can also use the Exception type: See below:

<error-page>
    <exception-type>java.lang.Exception</exception-type>
    <location>/WEB-INF/error/exception.jsp</location>
</error-page>

The difference is: <error-code> and <exception-type> depends on which is used.
