How to redirect the none existing page to 404 page.

hantsy Nov 24, 2011 10:31 AM

This is a general JSF problme I encountered in my project.

I found when I browsed a none existing page, such as http://localhost:8080/test/testCXXX.faces

It will display an empty page, and I used firebug and saw a 200 status.

Why it did not redirect to 404 page which I have defined in the web.xml?

Thanks

Hi,

I set following in my web.xml and it works nice:

<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/faces/error/404.xhtml</location>
</error-page>

Regards,
Palo

I also set the 404 and 500 in the web.xml, but it does not work for jsf pages.

If I browsed anther non existing url, such as http://localhost:8080/test/XXXXXX, which was not processed by Faces Servlet.

It will redirect to 404 page.

I read the java doc of FacesFileNotFoundException, it said it will throw 404 or 500 error code to client...but I can not catch a FacesFileNotFoundException in my JSF ExceptionHandler, it is a generic FacesException there.
