    Forward not happening to error.xhtml when Authorization Exception is thrown

    boy18nj

      I look like this may be not be approriate form for my exception.

      Whenever OptimisticLockException happens, the application gets directed to error.xhtml.
      <exception class="javax.persistence.OptimisticLockException">
        <end-conversation />
        <redirect view-id="/error.xhtml">
         <message severity="warn">Another user changed the same data,
          please try again really</message>
        </redirect>
      </exception>


      Incase of AuthorizationException, the seam debug page opens which shows the stack trace. But i want, it should direct to error.xhtml.

      <exception class="org.jboss.seam.security.AuthorizationException">
        <redirect view-id="/error.xhtml">
         <message severity="warn">You don't have permission to access this
          resource</message>
        </redirect>
      </exception>


      Also please not that I have defined my custom hasPermisson method.

      public boolean hasPermission(Object target, String action) {
       
        Identity identity = Identity.instance();
        if (identity == null || !identity.isLoggedIn()) {
         return false;
        }
       
        Entitlements entitlements = Entitlements.instance();
        if ("FUNCTION".equals(target) && entitlements.isFunctionAvailable(action)) {
         return true;
        }
        if ("FUNCTION_ID".equals(target) && entitlements.isFunctionAvailableBySurrogateId(action)) {
         return true;
        }
        if(action.contains("VIEW")){
         Events.instance().raiseEvent("org.jboss.seam.security.notAuthorized");
         throw new AuthorizationException(String.format(
                         "Authorization check failed for permission [%s]", action));
        }
        return false;
      }


      Any suggestions.
