-------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Jacques.  Here is what I found.  It doesn't always work, even for trunk:

http://demo-trunk-ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/product/ (works)
http://demo-trunk-ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/products/ (java.lang.NullPointerException)

SEO-friendly URL (with error)
http://demo-trunk-ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/dropship1-dropShip1-p-ERR (works)

However, if you access the products (or a Bot) using the NON-SEO friendly URL:

http://demo-trunk-ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/products/dropShip/dropShip1  (NON-SEO)

NOTE:  This URL is MOST likely present in Google and other search engines.

http://demo-trunk-ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/products/dropShip/dropShip1-err 

Doesn't work:  Says catalog not found, but the logs show http status 200.

This is worse on 11.04, because it doesn't have the recent SEO-friendly changes recently made to trunk

This is still a problem for trunk, because search engines will most likely have the OLD URL scheme, and will still get http status 200.

> If you are using the ecommerce app and you force it to generate a 404 error page it redirects back to /control/main.
> You can test the 404 error out here - http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/please-give-me-an-error/ 
> This default behaviour will confuse search engines as they expect to get a 404 error if a pages does not exist on a website. 
> As pointed out by Bilgin on the mailing list adding the following code into web.xml should resolve the problem however it just generates more errors due to the redirect to /control/main is in place.
> <error-page>
>    <error-code>404</error-code>
>    <location>/error/error.jsp</location>
> </error-page>
