EJB/JNDI over HTTP-Invoker Throws CommunicationException instead of AuthenticationException ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-12444 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-12444 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: EJB Environment: * Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Server (JBoss EAP) 7.2 * EJB / JNDI * undertow http-invoker * Authentication Failure Reporter: Tomas Hofman Assignee: Tomas Hofman Priority: Major Switching from http-remoting to the http-invoker when calling an EJB, if an authentication failure occurs, the exception wrapped in the EJBException has changed. It was a javax.naming.AuthenticationException before, but now it's throwing a CommunicationException even though the log shows it's getting a 401 from the server: WFHTTP000005: Invalid response code 401 (full response ClientResponse{responseHeaders={www-authenticate=[Basic realm="MyRealm"], content-length=[77], content-type=[text/html], date=[Thu, 28 Jul 2019 12:18:43 GMT]}, responseCode=401, status='', protocol=HTTP/2.0}) Before, AuthenticationException could be used for logic flow, but communication exception is too general.
