Better display of exception when users trying to perform operations (ManageWatcher) while not logged in.

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

    Description

      We should have a more graceful way to handle an exception page.

      For example:
      If users are not logged in and they tried to access JIRA by url, http://jira.atlassian.com/secure/ManageWatchers!default.jspa?id=12345, they will see an error page that looks like this:

      com.atlassian.jira.exception.IssueNotFoundException: Issue with id '12345' or key 'null' could not be found in the system
	at com.atlassian.jira.web.action.issue.AbstractIssueSelectAction.getIssue()Lorg/ofbiz/core/entity/GenericValue;(AbstractIssueSelectAction.java:85)
	at com.atlassian.jira.web.action.issue.ManageWatchers.isCanViewWatcherList()Z(ManageWatchers.java:218)
	at com.atlassian.jira.web.action.issue.ManageWatchers.doDefault()Ljava/lang/String;(ManageWatchers.java:41)
        ...

      Ideally, we can have a page that looks like this:

       You are not logged in, and do not have the permissions required to manage the watchers as a guest.

To manage the watchers first login or signup for an account.

      Cheers,
      Terry
