     [ https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2515?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Don Brown resolved WW-2515.
---------------------------

       Resolution: Not A Problem
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.1.2)
         Assignee: Don Brown

I think we determined there isn't a bug with how things work now.  Please open a new feature ticket if you want the addition of exceptions that you can throw to get the 404 automatically.  Patches welcome :)

> When there is a GET request for a resource that does not exist, example GET /authors/25 where author with id 25 does not exist, the getModel() method of the action should return null (and in most cases will return null as the object does not exist).
> However, the current ContentTypeInterceptor implementation is not entirely RESTful as the right response should be HTTP Status Code 404 "Not Found".
> I have patched the ContentTypeInterceptor to return a 404 status if the requested resource could not be found.
