    Exception in RedirectHandler

    mcalpay

      Hello,
      on my platform I am running to the following exception :


      SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet default threw exception
      java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
           at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1768)
           at org.jboss.seam.exception.RedirectHandler.handle(RedirectHandler.java:39)
      



      what happens is user tries to call a unauthorized function which results in a AuthorizationException. The exception is handled in the pages.xml:


           <exception class="org.jboss.seam.security.AuthorizationException">
                <redirect>
                     <message>You don't have permission to do this</message>
                </redirect>
           </exception>
      



      What I was expecting to see is user being redirected to the same page and a error message being printed in the h:messages tag.


      The offending line:


      (RedirectHandler.java:39) is : viewId = servletPath.substring(0, servletPath.lastIndexOf('.')) + Pages.getSuffix();
      



      changing that line to simply :


      viewId = servletPath;
      



      solves the problem on my case. I should note that I am also using the URL rewriting and the request I make is is like /example/photo/index


      Cheers


      MC
