Thanks, but i already read this. But the problem I am trying to solve is 
to set the 404 statuscode from a normal JSP-Page within the OpenCMS VFS. I 
tried within my page "response.setStatus(404)" and 
"response.sendError(404)" but both calls are without an effect. It seems 
that OpenCMS overwrites the statuscode after the JSP-page has been 
processed. And I did not find an alternative way to respond with the 
statuscode set to 404.

I am processing some dynamic content with this JSP page and if the 
parameters don't match the result shall not be indexed by search engines. 
I think the right solution to this is to set the statuscode to 404.

Maybe anyone knows how to correctly respond with the statuscode set to 404 
from a normal JSP-page in the OpenCMS VFS?
