Hi, regarding the error-page idea i have tried this and this does not work but thinking about it, for form based authentication you have to define a mandatory error page anyway so this would have precendence over any error page defined else where. A login failure always flows back to the page defined in form-error-page leaving me with the same issue of not being able to get a handle on the error.
Also, i have checked out the JNDIRealm source code and it only seems to log any exception but not throw it back (seems to pass a null Principal back to the calling code to signify you could not log on). If this is the case we cannot get a handle on the error. Any other ideas? Barry, could you post your idea please?
