--------------------------------
Summary: dont let struts auto catch Exception and send 500 error
Key: WW-3811
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3811
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dispatch Filter
Affects Versions: 2.3.3
Environment: struts2, spring security
Reporter: Xu Hui Sheng
struts2 with spring security.
The Spring Security security method interceptor may throw an
org.springframework.security.access.AccessDeniedException. It need be catched
by org.springframework.security.web.access.ExceptionTranslationFilter, then be
translated to be a 403 error.
But the org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.Dispatcher always catch the Exception
which throwed from their actions, and converted them to a 500 error, So the
behavior of spring security becomes wired. Neither I cannot define a
<error-page> with
<exception-type>org.springframework.security.access.AccessDeniedException, or
<error-page><error-code>403</error-code>, because struct2 already hide all of
the details of this exception.
Now I just have two options to choose, First is use
ExceptionMappingInterceptor and mapping AccessDeniedException to 403.jsp, this
causes duplicated configuration, I have to define 403.jsp both of web.xml and
struts.xml.
Second choice is modifying source code of Dispatcher, just comments the 531
line:
sendError(request, response, context,
HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND, e);
I wish there could be an option like 'struts.convert.exception=false' to close
this default behavior, so we could let spring security with struts2 more
flexibility
