Mapping to response codes doesn't work

[ThomasBecker]

Hi again,

according to the grails documentation I've got this in my UrlMappings.groovy:

		"403"(controller: "errors", action: "forbidden")
		"404"(controller: "errors", action: "notFound")
		"500"(controller: "errors", action: "serverError")

In my security filter I'm redirecting like this:

redirect(controller: "errors", action: "forbidden")

However I'm always getting a 404 after the redirect. So I tried adding:

static mappings = {
   "403"(view: "/errors/forbidden")
   "404"(view: "/errors/notFound")
   "500"(view: "/errors/serverError")
}

as the redirect points to "/errors/forbidden". However I'm getting a 404 again. In case that ordering matters in some way I added these mappings at the top of the file.

I ended up with:

response.sendError(403, "forbidden")

Which works just fine. But I'm wondering why the other way didn't work. Am I getting something totally wrong or am I just missing a small piece?

Cheers,
Thomas

Using redirect(), forward(), or chain() like this requires a reverse URL mapping lookup so that Grails knows what the URL for a given controller action is. An error mapping cannot be queried in the reverse direction, since it doesn't correspond to a URL.

I can see what you are trying to do, but the standard approaches involve either:

response.sendError(404)

or

render text: "Page not found", status: 404

Hi Peter,

ok. I think I'll leave it at response.sendError as it works well.

What if I want to display error details in the view? Is it possible to pass a model to the error view using sendError?
