XPages and the equivalent of $$ReturnGeneralError etc

Is it true that XPages has no equivalent of all the $$ error pages that are used in traditional Notes web applications?

I tried using the $$ReturnGeneralError but this will not display as an Xpage.

If so, it means that another design element will need to be created which although it can be copied and used for all $$ error pages, is still a pain because it is still an additional design task that cannot use any of the customer controls that I have in my XPages.

Someone please tell me that there actually is a neat XPages solutions.

Here's hoping....

Look at the XPages tab in the Application properties. There you can configure if you want to use the "default" error page, or if you want to use an XPage that you created ;-)

That setting in application properties only catches Xpage errors for debugging. It doesn't catch the standard 404 such as:

http://localhost/server/website.nsf/non-existent-page.xsp

I don't think there is a method - it seems to be having to use the form method from old notes.
