Web Script Response Status handling in JavaScript

[BoJo]

Is it correct to expect the redirect logic for Web Script error handling to apply to JavaScript controllers? The behavior described here (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Sc...esponse_Status) works as expected for Java based controllers. Specifically, when the status is set to 500 in our Java controller as follows:

    	}catch(Exception re){
    		status.setException(re);    		
    		status.setCode(500);
    		status.setMessage("Browse Component Failed to Load");
    		status.setRedirect(true);     		
    	}

This invokes our hmtl.500.ftl file with the "status" object in context. All is well.

However, if I set the status to 500 in a JavaScript controller as follows:

	status.code=500
	status.redirect=true

The hmtl.500.ftl file is skipped and our local 500.html error page is displayed.

Thanks,

The behaviour should indeed be the same. So it sounds like a bug, I'll take a look.

This is a great feature. Thanks for looking into the [potential] issue.
