Thanks Alexander I know I do not quite "grok" this yet... I have: <map:selector name="exception" src="org.apache.cocoon.selection.ExceptionSelector"> <exception name="not-found" class="org.apache.cocoon.ResourceNotFoundException"/> <exception name="file-not-found" class="java.io.FileNotFoundException"/> </map:selector> ... (after the last pipeline) ... <map:handle-errors> <map:select type="exception"> <map:when test="not-found"> <map:generate type="file" src="docs/missing.xml"/> <map:call resource="simple-page2html" status-code="404"/> </map:when> <map:when test="file-not-found"> <map:generate type="file" src="docs/missingfile.xml"/> <map:call resource="simple-page2html" status-code="404"/> </map:when> </map:select> </map:handle-errors>
