Remoting should not throw exception but 400/404 on invalid request
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2820
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2820
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Remoting
            Reporter: Christian Bauer
         Assigned To: Shane Bryzak

Some crazy Java program is making HTTP requests on our live site:

85.82.169.224 - - [04/Apr/2008:15:38:48 +0100] "GET /seam/resource/remoting/interface.js HTTP/1.1" 200 - "null" "Java/1.5.0_13"

I'm guessing this is a home-written HTML parser or something from a Danish ;) guy or a website "downloader" or something. In any case, it cuts off the request parameters and we throw an exception:

15:38:48,818 ERROR [Remoting] Error
javax.servlet.ServletException: Invalid request - no component specified
        at org.jboss.seam.remoting.InterfaceGenerator$1.process(InterfaceGenerator.java:73)
        at org.jboss.seam.servlet.ContextualHttpServletRequest.run(ContextualHttpServletRequest.java:53)
        at org.jboss.seam.remoting.InterfaceGenerator.handle(InterfaceGenerator.java:64)
        at org.jboss.seam.remoting.Remoting.getResource(Remoting.java:111)
        at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamResourceServlet.doGet(SeamResourceServlet.java:75)

Do not throw an exception but either return 400 INVALID REQUEST or 404 NOT FOUND.
