I don't have any web framework. I'm using JQuery with JAX-RS. So jquery posts/gets from the JAX-RS layer.
The SecurityException is related to a person trying to hack the system. Thus, when they perform their attempted hack the code simply throws a SecurityException, and takes them to a, "we know what you are trying to do page". To me it seems reasonable. All other exceptions are handled in the code as one would expect. Generally, a RuntimeException is used when recovery is not possible. That is the case here, and why a RuntimeException has been thrown. However, I will try creating a checked Exception subclass and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks for the response.
