Is there a controller for a 404 page (Play! Framework)

Question

I am working with Play! Framework 1.2.4 and have no problems creating static 404 pages. However, I would like to make the 404 page a little more dynamic.

Is there a "controller" for a 404 page? If not, where do I do all my logic that would traditionally go in the controller?

Answer 1

There is no controller for a 404 page. Play try to find a route and if this is not possible throw a NotFound Result that shows the 404 page.

You may create a catch all controller that do this job so this controller will handle the 404 case instead of Play itself.
