-----------------------------------
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>
