Question

I have a problem with routing in Play Framework 2.0.2. When I type into browser subdirectory which doesnt exist (etc. localhost/directory/) I get page:

Action not found For request 'GET /directory/'. 

What do I need add into routes file if I want on every subdirectory which doesn’t exist run etc. controllers.Application.show(page = "error")?

Thanks for any help

Use Global object for custom onHandlerNotFound() and render custom content instead of redirecting it to other resource, ie:

public class Global extends GlobalSettings {      
    @Override
    public Result onHandlerNotFound(RequestHeader request) {
       return notFound(views.html.error.render("Your page was not found"));
    }
}

(create new view as well: app/views/error.scala.html and stylize it as you wish)
