Spring sending 401 HTTP response via Controller

Question

Lets say i have a Controller like this one :

@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET, value="/error")
    public  void getresponse(ModelMap modelMap) {

modelMap.addAttribute("categories", "");
}

Is it possible to send a 401 HTTP error when this controller is called? If yes, how ?
