Define global result in the package that other packages extend. For example

  ...
  
    /pages/error_page.jsp

@Results({
  @Result(name = ERROR, location = "/pages/error_page.jsp"),
})

The parent package is annotated with @ParentPackage annotation. It could be placed on the class but better place it on the package. For example

package-info.java:

@ParentPackage("default")
