Simon Goodchild commented on MAGNOLIA-2136:
-------------------------------------------
This would also be a useful function for the core system, even when not using
vitualhosts, so we should make it generic enough to cope with a single site -
maybe a "default" entry in addition to a mapping for each virtualhost? As the
app server config requires the error codes to be mapped to a physical file
within the webapp, maybe we could have a generic error.jsp file within the core
distribution which calls a 'errorDispatcher' class in turn would:
- Identify the error code being flagged
- Identify the hostname the http request was targeted at
- Query a mapping table in the repository which points host+error to a specific
page within the system
- If there is no mapping for the given combination it uses the default entry
for the error code
- Then it redirects to the relevant URI
One issue would be whether we include these custom error pages within the
actual site structure (would need to be hidden pages) or if we define some
other node that they would all live under? Maybe we could have a convention of
a site node called "error-pages" that is automatically ignored by the
navigation tag to save having to set the hideInNav flag on every page?

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.5.4
> Reporter: Fabrizio Giustina

>
> Given that there is no real support for defining error pages in magnolia, we
> are anyway using the default error page mapping in web.xml in order to
> forward to magnolia-managed pages in case of 404 or errors.
> If we think about serving different websites on a single public magnolia
> instance we should probably also find a way of defining different error pages
> for different virtualhosts.
