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

[Brian Leathem (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-126?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12592271#comment-12592271 ] 

Brian Leathem commented on SEAMFACES-126:
-----------------------------------------

No suitable java.*, javax.* exception seems to exist, so Faces should create one.  Possibly extending: 
javax.security.auth.message.AuthException
http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/security/auth/message/AuthException.html

> 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.
