Custom denied.gsp styles not rendering

Question

I am using the spring-security-core plugin and I have created a custom denied.gsp page under /views/login/denied.gsp.

At first get familiar with this one https://github.com/grails-plugins/grails-spring-security-core/issues/177

In your `UrlMappings.groovy` make modification:

```
"500"(controller: "error", action: "denied")
```

In your `Config.groovy` file override `errorPage` property

```
grails.plugin.springsecurity.adh.errorPage = null
```

And add action in your controller:

```
def denied() {
    render(view: '/login/denied')
}
```

This works for me.
