Getting the right HTTP status in apache log
Hi All,
If I set a 404 response status in my servlet then tomcat will send it's 404
page and the apache access log shows a status of 404.
If I set a 404 response status in my servlet and catch it using a
<error-page> web.xml directive then I can send my own 404 page but apache
access log shows a 200 status.
Is there any way I can send my own page AND have the status show up as 404
in apache access logs?
Obviously tomcat does this but I can't seem to do it myself.
Using rh8, tomcat 4.1.18, mod_jk, apache2
Thanks.
David

In your 404 page (as defined by web.xml) - you must set the return code there.
Why? Because I may get rid of some pages and use my error page as a way to
detect those missing pages (read: smart logging) then either redirect to the
"correct page" or present a different message (which may not really relect a
404 error to the client).

I noticed one of my machines worked correctly, setting the right status
code in the apache access log. The difference is that the working machine
is running 4.1.24 while all the others are running 4.1.18
I looked through the change log but didn't see a specific bug fix for that.
