RE: returning 404 not 200

[Johnny Quazar]

Thanks for you reply, Tyler! But I'm still having trouble.

I must be doing something wrong, I'll attach some more details. My 
screen class extends a "WeakScreen" object which does include a 
method to add some common elements, but does not touch 
data.setStatusCode. I do see a spurious hit to the web server root 
that I cannot explain just now, maybe it is relevant?

The URL is http://contact.bitblaster.com an old information page from 
before I let my app control subdomain access.

Thanks for any help or clues!

My code:

public void doBuildTemplate( RunData data, Context context )
{
   [snip - misc and sundry app logic I could share but seems irrelevant]
   [construct a "PageViewer" object which handles subdomains]
   // Check for 404 error, adjust response code as required...
   if ( pv.getCurrentPage().equals("404") ) {
      Log.debug("SET STATUS 404: NOT FOUND!");
      data.setStatusCode(404);
   }
   try {
      super.doBuildTemplate(data, context);
      [snip... etc, just stock screen class final stuff]
}


apache access.log:
"GET /p/s/p/template/X1.vm/s/contact HTTP/1.1" 200 864 "-"
"GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 864 "-"
"GET /p/includes/kustomLayoutBlankfile.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
turbine.log debugger log:
-- ERROR -- (PageViewer) no subdomain contact
-- DEBUG -- Activity: X1 displayed screen|A|Error
-- DEBUG -- SET STATUS 404: NOT FOUND!
-- DEBUG -- (MyCommon) could not get cookie list

Hi Johnny,

In your screen class, you should have the method:
public final void doBuildTemplate(RunData data, Context context) throws
Exception
This is where you perform any particular business logic and add
information to the context.  You can use the RunData parameter to set
the HTTP response code, like this:
data.setStatusCode(404);

Hi All,

Is there a way to affect the HTTP response code? I'm trapping certain
conditions and sending back a custom error message "no such content"
and I'd like to tell the browser (and the webcrawlers) 404 Page Does
Not Exist and not 200 Success.
