<p>The <span class="LITERAL">exception</span> variable is assigned to the subclass
of <span class="LITERAL">Throwable</span> that caused the error page to be
invoked. The <span class="LITERAL">Throwable</span> class is the superclass of
all errors and exceptions in the Java language. Only objects that are
instances of this class (or of one of its subclasses) are thrown by
the Java Virtual Machine or can be thrown by the Java
<span class="LITERAL">throw</span> statement. See the Java documentation at
<systemitem role="url">http://java.sun.com/docs/index.html</systemitem> for a
description of the <span class="LITERAL">Throwable</span> class.
