Question regarding on how to show other errors than false username/password

[Scott Battaglia]

If you're throwing a CAS authentication expection (and you extend the
AuthenticationException class) any value in the "code" field is mapped back
to a message in the message.properties that will be displayed on the login
page.

Otherwise, if you throw a RuntimeException (or something that extends a
RuntimeException) it should be propagated up and you can either use J2EE's
exception handling mechanisms or Springs.
