I am using Spring Security 3.0.7. Below is my security config file:

</beans:bean>

Question(Help): How can I route the SessionAuthenticationException through my customAuthenticationFailureHandler filter? The above scenario all exceptions are handled well, except for the SessionAuthenticationException which is being routes through 401. The SessionAuthenticationException works well if I use org.springframework.security.web.authentication.SimpleUrlAuthenticationFailureHandler instead of
org.springframework.security.web.authentication.ExceptionMappingAuthenticationFailureHandler .

Resolved…I added the following property in my customAuthenticationFailureHandler bean configuration:<beans:property name="defaultFailureUrl" value="/login?error=other"/>
