Interestingly, though if I configure web.xml with
<error-page>
<error-code>401</error-code>
<location>/error401.jsp</location>
</error-page>
the browser doesn't get the chance to "ignore"/decide to pop-up the login
dialog. That is significantly different behavior from when error-page is
not in the deployment descriptor. It just seems that making such a
seemingly simple change shouldn't produce such different behavior, don't you
think?
I couldn't find this bit documented anywhere. Seems important.
Thanks very much for your response.

You do realize, I hope, that it's the *browser* that decides to ignore
whatever the server sends along with a 401 error and chooses to pop up the
login dialog instead?
