Zend framework 1.2 handling 404 - zend-framework

I am having one requirement that I want to manage 404 error differently.
When a system found 404, so before moving it to errorController, it should first check in a table which saves data for special urls and internal project url, if an entry found then it should internally execute that internal url and show the output on the page without changing url.
If no entry found in the table then it should move to error controller as it is.
Please help me on this, I have tried and succeeded using dynamic routing from db, but it is pushing route entries each time page initialize and I want to check this only on 404 to avoid useless load on system.
Thanks

TYPO3 Core exception: "Id was out of domain" instead of Error 404

because of some alterings in the page structure many of our pages changed the pid. It does not matter in SEO terms because of speaking urls but there are a bunch of third party links with wrong pids, e. g.:
https://www.myDomain.de/index.php?id=46&no_cache=1&sword_list[0]=someWord
The page with uid 46 exists but is not the meant one, and it now resides under a different domain. So the result is the following exception:
Core: Exception handler (WEB): Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: #1518472189:
ID was outside the domain | TYPO3\CMS\Core\Error\Http\PageNotFoundException
thrown in file typo3/sysext/frontend/Classes/Controller/ErrorController.php
in line 80. Requested URL:
https://www.myDomain.de/index.php?id=46&no_cache=1&sword_list[0]=someWord
My question:
Can i tell TYPO3 not to throw an exception but to treat all Outside Domain Events simply as 404 with a redirect to the error page?
thanks!
Should be possible by ading an 404 error handling in Site Management module:
Site Management -> Sites -> Yoursite -> Tab "Error hanling" -> Create new
Showing your 404-page with the correct status code in that case is in my experience unfortunately not too obvious.
The simplest for ?id=... with deleted/moved pages (which because of that do not map to the correct site) is to do redirects to useful pages with EXT:redirect or on the webserver level.
That's an example with EXT:redirect:
If there's nothing comparable in the new content that you could redirect to, you can show your 404-page, e.g. by a passthrough ([PT] with Apache mod_rewrite https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html). You should make sure to send a 404 status in that case. (E.g. through .htaccess, a userFunc on the 404-page, ...).
I hope somebody else has a simpler idea.

FlowRouter Reload Doesn't Route

I'm using FlowRouter. If I start on the homepage everything works well. I can work through the routes (change the pages) without problem. However, if I hit refresh in the browser, I get a series of errors. My url looks like this:
/story/586d536e34821281735b53a4
The ID is being returned in console under the following method:
Tracker.nonreactive(function(){
I think the subscription is being completed, so I'm a little confused as to why reloading a url is different than loading from the home page.
What am I not understanding here?
Reloading a url will make a HTTP request to server to get all the application source. Whereas navigating to a route from another one does not make any HTTP requests to get the application source because they are already available (they were loaded from the previous route), in this case the router will just get the appropriate content and render on the page. This is normal behaviour for Meteor apps and all other single-page apps
The error you encounter is because your data is not yet available on client, to fix it you could simple use a placeholder if the value is undefined.

Play Framework: Don't change URL after form validation failed

In a plain Play application I have the following scenario.
A route file which looks like this:
GET /accounts/add controllers.Accounts.add()
POST /accounts controllers.Accounts.create()
The first route results in a view where I can add a new account. The form to submit the new account looks something like this:
#helper.form(action = routes.Accounts.create()) {...}
Now the controller binds the input to the form and checks for any validation errors:
public static Result create() {
Form<Account> form = Form.form(Account.class).bindFromRequest();
if (form.hasErrors()) {
return badRequest(views.html.account.add.render(form));
}
...
}
Now the thing is, the client will see the same view with some additional error messages. However, meanwhile the URL has changed from http://example.com/accounts/add to http://example.com/accounts.
If the client now reloads the browser this calls GET http://example.com/accounts (which isn't even mapped in this scenario - thus getting a 404 - Not Found).
Maybe it's just me but I find this kind of annoying and browsing some GitHub projects I couldn't find a good solution for this case.
Of cause things would be much simpler if the second route is rewritten to:
POST /accounts/add controllers.Accounts.create()
... in which case everything works fine. But from a REST point of view this doesn't feel good either. The same applies to update scenarios (having GET /accounts/:id/update vs. PUT /accounts/:id).
Is there a guide on how to handle this? Am I getting something wrong or is this no problem at all (from a pragmatic point of view)?
It's not possible to leave the previous URL because a request for a new address has already been made. A controller only provides response for a requested resource. To go to the previous URL you could only make a redirect in case of validation failure but you would lost errors that way so this is not a solution.
I suggest mapping both actions with the same URL. This way you would solve problem with the browser reload.
If you create a REST service for http clients that aren't browsers you will probably want to serve different response than a simple http page. The separation of actions for particular clients could be a good solution for keeping REST API clean and a browser user happy.

zend_auth causing application to error

i have been following some online screencasts and tutorials about zend_auth.
i have a basic zend application created by the zf tool.
within the index controller index action i place a little code to test if a user is authenticated.
if(!Zend_Auth::getInstance()->hasIdentity())
{
$this->_redirect('login');
}
now as far as i'm aware this should check to see if the current session has been authorised with an identity if it hasnt (ie returns false)
it will redirect the screen to the login controller index action.
all i get is the default error action page stating
An error occurred
Application error
does anyone have an idea wtf is going on.
i have a suspicion it has something to do with needing to set up an autoloader but i have already set an include path to the library folder . (plus i have no issues with accessing controller actions and the likes.
i had another issue with a form stopping my application from rendering anything but i will create another question about that.
thanks keyne setting the error reporting on was a good idea
for some reason i thought i had my app sent to development but it was production.
after looking at the error report i found i had forgotten to create a data folder on my test server to hold the session information.
so zend_auth creating a session failed to location the directory.

Need help with Zend Framework dynamic Namespaces

I want to make my system redirect unknown requests such as
www.address.com/a_company
to the adress
www.address.com/companies/company/ and display the company a_company if it exists in the database, otherwise throw the user to a 404 not found page.
So in detail, I want to make namespace that is as the first example dynamically, if the company exist in the database, I have no problem connecting to the database and retrieving information or finding a way to parse a company name, I just need help how to make my system check and run a function every time the address doesn't exist and show the second page (/companies/company/)..
I am using an Acl as well, but I think it should be fine if the page is /companies/company and then possibly add /?c=a_company or similar.
Thank you.

simply create a front controller plugin which checks the request params agains the database before the request is dispatched.
