What is your preferred way to handle hits to files that does not exist on your MVC app.
I have couple of web apps runing with MVC and they are constantly getting hits for files folders etc. that does not exist in the app structure.
Apps are throwing exception: The controller for path could not be found or it does not implement IController
I am trying to find out the best way to handle this.
I have 3 global routes on my global.asax file (see below) and at this point I am happy with that simple definition. I know if I added route definition for all controllers then I can add a definition to ignore the rest and handle these hits but if it will be possible to solve this problem without it, I do not want to add route definitions for each controller which I believe will flood the route definitions and also add a layer of maintenance which I don't like.
//Aggregates 2nd level
routes.MapRoute(
"AggregateLevel2",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}/{childid}/{childidlevel2}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "", childid = "", childidlevel2 = "" }
);
//Aggregates 1st level
routes.MapRoute(
"AggregateLevel1",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}/{childid}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "", childid = "" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }
);
