Hello, I am running multiple web applications on a tomcat server. When a request to a context in the stopped state is made, tomcat is returning 404 "not found" rather than 503 "unavailable". Is it possible to change this behavior in any way? Obviously I can't just modify _all_ HTTP 404 responses to 503. Just those which are coming from a context in the stopped state.
Here is a little more information, as to my goal. I have a couple of web servers (apache 2.2.22) in front of a couple tomcat servers (6.0.24). I am hosting multiple web applications. If an application goes down or is stopped on "tocmat1", apache will continue to send requests to "tomcat1", giving my users error pages. To partly solve this, I've added the 'failonstatus' attribute to the balancer such that HTTP 503 responses will put the BalancerMember in the error state for 60 seconds; thereby sending all requests to "tomcat2" which is replicating sessions (this works very nicely, btw). Unfortunately, tomcat is responding with HTTP 404 when a request is made to a context that is stopped. I was surprised by this, given that the requested context isn't "not found", it's simply (and probably intentionally) "unavailable". I realize this could start a semantics argument, which isn't my goal. I simply want to be able to avert traffic from a context/server that has an application stopped.
