Throws: Exception if an error happens during handling of the request. Common errors are:

IOException if an input/output error occurs and we are processing an included servlet (otherwise it is swallowed and handled by the top level error handler mechanism)
ServletException if a servlet throws an exception and we are processing an included servlet (otherwise it is swallowed and handled by the top level error handler mechanism)

Tomcat should be able to handle and log any other exception ( including runtime exceptions )
