Answer 1

You may be able to create a custom filter that can catch an AccessDeniedException and add the filter after ExceptionTranslationFilter in the configuration file in the following way:

http.addFilterAfter(customExceptionTranslationFilter, ExceptionTranslationFilter.class)

After catching the exception, you can use the response object to respond in the way you'd like.

You can then also add the ability to work with other exception you may want to throw in your Controllers.
