> A few days ago some tool tried to find vulnerabilites by checking urls like
> /pageid=99999' . This lead to dozens of exception reports like
> Exception type: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
> Message: Input string 'pageid=99999'' is not valid; the character '=' at
> position 7 is not valid.
> This should either be a custom exception type, so it can be handled without
> parsing the IllegalArgumentException message or it should be a 400 - Bad
> request, which would also allow for a custom error page.
