Re: Generating a 404 response

OK. My fault. This works:

else
{
      response.sendError(404, "");
       return;
}

Now when I look in my http server log I see a status of 404 with the original 
URL.

Thanks for your help.

It didn't work. I got a 500 later in my code. Here's what I did:

        if(detail.size() > 0)
        {
            dbutil = new 
DBUtil(getServletConfig().getInitParameter(Constants.JNDI_NAME));        
            dbutil.executeNoResults(updateSql);
            dbutil.cleanup();
            session.setAttribute("title", title);
            session.setAttribute("desc", title);
            session.setAttribute("keywords", keywords);
            dispatcher = 
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/displayArticle.jsp");
        }
        else
            response.sendError(404, "");
//         dispatcher = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/404.jsp");

Notice I commented out the code that would later dispatch to 404.jsp.

Here's my entry from web.xml:

  </error-page>
    <error-page>
        <error-code>404</error-code>
        <location>/404.jsp</location>
    </error-page>

Looks like the 404 page isn't being invoked by the response.sendError(404, "");
