Research direction

Start with the servlet/spring-boot/java/oauth2/webclient sample and inspect its security configuration and error handling. Run the sample while unauthenticated, reproduce the missing-access-token 401, and verify that the Spring Boot error page appears instead of the login page.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

type: bug

Current behavior:

Some samples (for example, the servlet/spring-boot/java/oauth2/webclient sample) are attempting to show a Spring Boot error page in certain scenarios, but instead show the login page when the user is not authenticated.

Expected behavior:

When the user is not authenticated and an error occurs (for example, calling a resource server causes a 401 Unauthorized response due to a missing access token), the error page should be shown.
