You're catching the exception, and only printing the stacktrace inside, so the error-page doesn't take affect, remove the try-catch or re-throw and it will work. In addition, you have some syntax errors. Try something like

try{
       //Here is all code stuff
       throw new Exception();
}catch(Exception e){
         e.printStackTrace();
         throw new ServletException();
}
