MOSS - Custom error page

In MOSS 2007, how will you display a custom error page?

By using the simple ASP.net way of setting <custom errors="On" defaultRedirect="errorURL"/> won't work in sharepoint

You basically need to write a custom HTTPModule and add the entries in the web.config of your webapplication.

Here is a sample for your reference.

public class MyError : IHttpModule

        {

            const string errorUrl = "/_layouts/CustomErrorPage/Error.aspx";

            public void Dispose()

            {

                //dispose your objects

            }

            public void Init(HttpApplication context)

            {

                context.PreRequestHandlerExecute += new EventHandler(context_PreRequestHandlerExecute);

            }

            void context_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, EventArgs e)

            {

                Page page = HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler as Page;

                if (page != null)

                {

                    page.Error += new EventHandler(page_Error);

                }

            }

            void page_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)

            {

                Page page = sender as Page;

               

                    string strWebURL = SPContext.Current.Web.Url;

                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<script type=\"text/javascript\">window.location = \"" + errorUrl + "\"</script>");

                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();

               

            }

        }

Hope you all know how to deploy it. If you need steps on how to deploy, please feel free to ask.


Happy Coding :)
