my custom filter anonymousajaxrequestfilter :

  try {             filterchain.dofilter(servletrequest, servletresponse)         } catch (accessdeniedexception e) {             if (ajaxheader) {                 if (!session) {                     response.senderror(httpservletresponse.sc_forbidden)                 } else {                     response.setstatus(httpservletresponse.sc_forbidden)                 }             } else {                 throw e             }         } 

seems nothing special.

as know, error doesn`t appear user, our log files flooded exception.

any idea of reason of exception?

the reason problem described here favicon.ico not found error?.

but don`t explicitly use url /favicon in views. found out grails tag adds hidden fields synchronizer_token , synchronizer_url. , here url "/favicon.ico" was.
