I haven't tried this with Xalan, and the behavior is very processor specific, but one idea is to try:
<xsl:message terminate="yes">404 Resource Not Found.</xsl:message> in your stylesheet and then add a handle-errors section in your pipeline with a serializer that sets the status-code="404". The unknown is how Xalan handles the terminate="yes" attribute. If I recall correctly, Xalan handles this by throwing an exception, which should bubble up and be handled by the Cocoon error handler. The suggestion by Liam is cleaner in that it is less transformer specific, but I just thought I'd throw this out there as quick and dirty option :) Regards, --mike On Mon, 8 Apr 2002, Liam Morley wrote: > What you might do (and this is just one approach) is to write a > java transformer that will verify that the file exists, and if it doesn't, > throw a ResourceNotFoundException().
