Description

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>
