NodeJS Express framework handles 404 pages in one way

Routing is one of my biggest confusions when using Express. Know that all pages can be processed with app.get('*'), but that static files are ignored except for custom routes. Recently, while writing a gadget, I found a solution:


var express = require('express'),
    router = require('./routes');
    var app = module.exports = express.createServer();
// Configuration
app.configure(function () {
    // ...
    //Don't reverse the order
    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public')); 
    app.use(app.router);
});
//Other router...
// 404
app.get('*', function(req, res){
    res.render('404.html', {
        title: 'No Found'
    })
});

Put the wildcard at the end. So all pages that are not routed are taken over by default by 404.html.
