Struts isn't catching this exception because you're throwing it in a
JSP page which is being accessed outside the Struts servlet (directly
via a URL).
Try throwing the exception in a Struts action and see what happens.
But even if you do that you'll run into a problem with the current
setup. You're asking Struts to "intercept" an exception called
somepackage.CustomException but are throwing java.lang.Exception. So
Struts will just ignore it since the thrown exception is not a
CustomException. Try throwing CustomException instead of Exception OR
change your Struts config to look for java.lang.Exception.
