I'd like to create an AuthorizationFilter
in my Grails app that will inspect request parameters and determine whether a user is authorized to proceed with a request. I was hoping I could throw a custom exception from within my AuthorizationFilter
and later handle it with Grails declarative execption handling via a route like:
"403"(controller: 'error', action: 'status403', exception:AuthException)
... but turns out when I try this in grails 2.2.4 (and the latest dev snapshot) I get
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Method name must not be null
at grails.plugin.cache.web.ProxyAwareMixedGrailsControllerHelper.retrieveAction(ProxyAwareMixedGrailsControllerHelper.java:41)
So... is there any good way to use declarative exception handling together with filters?
