--- Comment #3 from Kyle Harper <kylejhar...@gmail.com> --- Regarding RFC 2616 and 4xx vs. 5xx codes, I agree that 4xx is more appropriate. I'm not sure I agree that 404 is the best option as it lacks information for the client, but given Konstantin's remark #1 "A stopped context is absent to tomcat", it makes sense. I did bring this to the users group via email and the solution of adding a servlet in the ROOT context to handle mappings for contexts in the stopped state was suggested. I implemented this and it works in 7.0.26, and does not work in 6.0.35. Here is a link to the archive for that issue: http://markmail.org/thread/wk7d5zxkp2lsflmz (I can open a different bug for 6.0.35 Request Mapper not falling back to /ROOT if you wish to patch 6.x.) >1. A stopped application is effectively absent from Tomcat and its request >Mapper. Given this, tomcat is working as intended. Leaving bug resolved:invalid. If time permits I'll research a patch to enable configurable status codes in stopped states.
