I am using rails 3.0.14, and I am constructing routes.rb using the resourceful style. I'd like to have a wildcard route that catches all requests that do not match to any route stated.
What's the appropriate way to construct such a route?

TIP: If you ever want to list all the routes of your application you can use rails routes on your terminal and if you want to list routes of a specific resource, you can use rails routes | grep hotel . This will list all the routes of Hotel.
Rails routes are matched in the order they are specified, so if you have a resources :photos above a get 'photos/poll' the show action's route for the resources line will be matched before the get line. To fix this, move the get line above the resources line so that it is matched first.
In Rails, a RESTful route provides a mapping between HTTP verbs, controller actions, and (implicitly) CRUD operations in a database. A single entry in the routing file, such as. map.resources :photos. creates seven different routes in your application: HTTP verb.
Difference between singular resource and resources in Rails routes. So far, we have been using resources to declare a resource. Rails also lets us declare a singular version of it using resource. Rails recommends us to use singular resource when we do not have an identifier.
put
match '*path' => 'your_controller#your_action' at the end of the routes.rb file. This is important, since the routes are stepped through top down.

For Rail 4, you need to specify the request type:
match "*path", to: "application#custom_action", via: :all As others have said, put this at the very bottom of your routes file.
