Routing in Symfony2

Question

How to setup default routing in Symfony2?

In Symfony1 it looked something like this:

homepage:
  url:   /
  param: { module: default, action: index }

de

If you want to create a "catch all", your best bet would be to hook on the KernelEvents::EXCEPTION event. This event gets triggered whenever an Exception falls through to the HttpKernel, this includes the NotFoundHttpException thrown when the router cannot resolve a route to a Controller.

The effect would be similar to Symfony's stylized 404 page that gets rendered when you send the request through app_dev.php. Instead of returning a 404, you perform whatever logic you're looking to.
