While trying to access a private resource via the API, I get following error message:

{
    "status": 500,
    "error": "Internal Server Error",
    "message": "Internal error processing getProjectById",
    "timestamp": "2018-03-21T14:55:36.684Z"
}

Using the return code 401 might be more appropriate.

I agree to Marion. I only see one error code: 500.
I would appreciate:

• 500 => internal (fatal) error
• 401/403 => private resources
• 404 => id of project/component/release was not found
