To solve my previous question re. [“Catch All Pages”](https://forum.litium.com/t/is-there-a-built-in-way-of-doing-catch-all-pages/1170/3) I built a solution where I can add an attribute `[CatchAllPageType]` to the page type definitions of pages where I want “Catch all relative routing” and then the `IPageNotFoundResolver` when getting a 404 checks the paths to determine whether it should render a page.

The question I have now, If I need to pass additional data over to the controller/view via PageNotFoundResolver is there something I can use on `PageRequestData`? It has a `Data` property with no documentation that I can find. Is that useable somehow?

Litium version: _6.3.7_

Use the `PageRequestData.NamedData` to pass data that you need. The `PageRequestData.Data` is used for product page types to pass the `ProductPageData` so the controllers know what category/product that should be rendered.

Btw, I’m interesting to hear the reason to not use the `INamedHandlerRouteResolver` that already exists in the product and instead build an own solution?

@patric.forsgard to be honest, we already had something solving another thing (in a way similar) we needed implemented in the not found resolver.

I needed it on four different page types, and your answer to my previous question made me feel that your proposed solution wasn’t really meant for this… but I can “try” it?

I can obviously change to making a “plugin” and “INamedHandlerRouteResolver”.

I only had a couple of lines of code, but I tried your solution from previous thread and it worked as well, moving over to that.

Scratch that. Your solution with `INamedHandlerRouteResolver` can only be used on one page type. So I would need to duplicate that class per page type.

@patric.forsgard I changed to having four different INamedHandlerRouteResolvers, that inherits from a common implementation. But I’ve tried for a while to understand HOW to get the values out that I assign to PageRequestData, but it always seem to be a “new” instance (when being assigned via dependency injection). How can I get the data extracted?
