Timeout of session causes ugly error message -------------------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-2265 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-2265 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Portal Core Affects Versions: 2.6.6 Final Reporter: Roy van Rijn Priority: Minor When somebody browses to a portal webpage and lands on the login page, then waits a long time (the session expires) then tries to logon you'll get the following message: HTTPS Status 400 - Invalid direct reference to form login page This means the user directly accesed the login-page, not being redirected. (Which is according to the JEE specs). But I'd rather see the portal giving a more user friendly message, or implement a workaround. A possible workaround is to put the following in the web.xml: <error-page> <error-code>400</error-code> <location>some index page (not login.jsp)</location> </error-page> But other workaround should also be possible. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
