That's another scope and it can lead as well to the MVC framework to be 
used because there are different types of errors.
If it's a validation error, generally the error page is the same as the 
validated page inviting the user to modify the wrong entry.
This is tied to the MVC framework/validation system to be used.

If it's a server error then it is generally a global error page. (Which 
for JSPs is generally set via the directive <%page 
errorPage="/errorPage.jsp" %> )
It can (and should) also be set globally via the web.xml (typically for 
a http 500 ), of course, in case both are defined the value in the jsp 
takes precedence.

Admin preferences: Basically replace the hashtable that is serialized in 
a blob with use java.util.Preferences that you can query nicely.
