How To Use A Specific Error Handler In A Controller?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I’m serving REST API which need to return JSON format error messages along with normal functionality with Yii, I specified an error handler in config/main.php to make customized error page, but this applies globally.

Is there anyway I can use a specific error handler in api controller to throw JSON error message instead of default error page?
