[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SEAMFACES-126) Throw an some kind of unauthorized exception when auth fails, rather than returning a 401 response

Jason Porter commented on SEAMFACES-126:
----------------------------------------

Sounds like it's something in the security model, throwing the exception, and having a packaged catch handler for this would work just fine.

> If authorization fails, and the user is not logged in, Faces looks for a @LoginViewId to redirect to, and returns a 401 response if none is found.  A similar story applies for the @AccessDeniedViewId
> It would be better to instead throw an exception, that Seam Catch can intercept.  If not intercepted, this exception would eventually lead to a 401 response.
