Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-5037:
----------------------------------------

Note: the solution is using a specific exception but does not log any errors. 
Of course for this to work when using 
throwRequestHandlerExceptionOnMissingLocalRequest=N you need to have the 
external requests ready to handle the flow. Else you will simply get an error 
in the browser but nothing in log, since it's supposed to be handled 
externally. I think I will put a Debug.logInfo with the name of the external 
request in the RequestHandlerExceptionAllowExternalRequests catch... later...

> The current rendering within OFBiz expects the following setup:
> * Request is always submit against /control
> * /control will pickup the request and handle by ControlServlet
> * ControlServlet will check within controller.xml for an entry
> Because of it, the ControlServlet will intercept any request coming towards 
> the application, except for requests that are mapped against similar servlets 
> (/cms or alike). ControlServlet will throw an exception if no request is 
> found and try to redirect towards an error page. 
> The underlying assumption here is that ControlServlet is always in the lead 
> for rendering pages, unless the internal CMS is used. This does not have to 
> be the case, however, since in practice it is also possible for users to 
> implement a replacing cms or other means for rendering the pages. In those 
> cases ControlServlet will still throw an error, albeit the request may 
> already have been handled by a wrapping system:
> {code}

> Since this is a minor issue, I propose to remove the underlying exception and 
> rather throw a warning instead. This would allow the users to extend the 
> Servlet by their own means and yet allow the purpose to remain unchanged 
> (clearly a logged message is wanted here). I will attach a patch to fix the 
> issue.
