I still need helps. Here is the web.xml ... <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>TESTING</realm-name> </login-config> <error-page> <error-code>401</error-code> <location>/error.html</location> </error-page> ... The error.html is replaced the 401 error message, however there will be no authentication window prompted, error.html is somehow loaded all the time.
