I''m sure this has been asked before but a quick search on the web didn''t give me any hints.. I''d like to do this: @person = Person.find_by_name throw_page_not_found unless @person Anybody know how to do this, do I have to manually tinker with the response object? -- Posted via ruby-forum.com.

The 404 is in reality triggerd by catching this exception and rendering the 404.html file. You could also just do this. Jonathan>-- Jonathan Weiss blog.innerewut.de

You could also just do this.This is what I was looking for, I think this is the cleanest way of doing things in my situation. I didn''t know it would throw a 404 on a RecordNotFound Exception (in dev mode you don''t notice this) Thanks! Jeroen -- Posted via ruby-forum.com.
