The 404 Handler

In some projects you may want to have the possibility to define your own Error-Pages (as 404 etc.).
With magnolia it is either possible to define this pages internally in the website tree, or externally.

...

For this example let's assume that your magnolia site is under /index/
and that you have created your own 404.html error page under that..ie

/index/404.html

Edit the magnoliaPublic web.xml (inside webapps\magnoliaPublic\WEB-INF\web.xml)
and add the following section:

<error-page>
     <error-code>404</error-code>
     <location>/admintemplates/404.jsp</location>
  </error-page>

Now, create a 404.jsp file inside your \webapps\magnoliaPublic\admintemplates directory
that contains the following jsp code

<%
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY);
String contextName = request.getContextPath();
String newLocn = contextName + "/index/404.html";
response.setHeader("Location",newLocn);
%>
