[opencms-dev] OpenCMS: 404-error-handling

[Alexander Kandzior]

Bernd,

since you apparently have looked into the OpenCms source code, you should
read it correctly before claiming that something does not work.

You only need to create the folder / file "/handler/handle404.html" in the
OpenCms "/system" folder, which will be displayed in case of a 404 error.
Make this "handle404.html" a JSP that uses your template of choice in case
you want more advanded error handling stuff. Everything works as expected.

Best Regards,
Alex.
