MVC Frameworks and 404s
Mark Kimsal has an interesting article on whether your MVC frameworks handle 404 errors properly.
“This post is about the consistency of frameworks. Consistency is key to a low learning curve. If all parts of a framework behave the same way, then a developer is less likely to be surprised by behaviors in the framework. Also, I feel that they are less likely to rely on a manual every couple of minutes to look up method names, directory names, etc.
Given the fact that most, if not all, MVC frameworks use a front-controller pattern, there is never a missing file error (404) at the Apache level. Apache is always finding the index.php file that kicks off the MVC application.”
Be sure to add your thoughts and read the comments at the end of his post. Head over to the post Is Your MVC MIA When it Comes to 404s?
