View render from AppExceptionHandler

Question

I am working with CakePHP 2.0 and want to handle ForbiddenException. I followed the example described in the CakePHP Cookbook.

My exception is now caught in an AppExceptionHandler, but I don't know how to get from here. I want to display the corresponding view, but $this not available. Does anyone have a starting point for me?

Edit:
My code is still identical to the cookbook example:

In the application /Config/core.php

 Configure::write('Exception.handler', 'AppExceptionHandler::handle'); 

In the application /Config/bootstrap.php

 App::uses('AppExceptionHandler', 'Lib'); 

In the application /Lib/AppExecptionHandler.php

 class AppExceptionHandler { public static function handle($error) { if($error instanceOf ForbiddenException ){ echo 'Oh noes! ' . $error->getMessage(); // $this->Session->setFlash('To access the page please login'); } } }

As you mentioned in your comment, you can make copies of the error views in your own View folder and control the rendering.

If you also want to use a session, remember that in any part of your application you can use CakeSession to access the session.
