Zend Controller preDispatch preprocessing interfering with dispatch

I've refactored some common behaviour that was repeated at the top of my Controller Actions into a preDispatch method - this is great, except that I'm having to live to general 400 errors even where there really should be a 404.

This is because the default preDispatch method doesn't know what Action is required - so I can't test to see if it exists and 404 if it doesn't.

Other than completely the Zend Controller's dispatch() method and passing the Action name to preDispatch - is there are better solution?

Update: please note, this is Zend Framework 1.10

. . . the default preDispatch method doesn't know what Action is required . . .

You can get the controller and action names in the preDispatch() method by calling the following methods on the request object:

public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
    $controller = $request->getControllerName();
    $action = $request->getActionName();
    // Do stuff
}

try something like this:

public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
    $front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
    if( $front->getDispatcher()->isDispatchable($request) )  {
        // if dispatchable do some stuff
    } else {
        // else show the error
    }
}
