Tynamo tapestry-security 0.5.1 and UNAUTHORIZED_URL bug

The Tynamo tapestry security 0.5.1 allows us to configure the URL path when unauthorized access happens. But it only works when we use annotation @RequiresRoles for each page, while it won't if we use Shiro createChain for global configuration, like
 configuration.add(factory.createChain("/admin/**").add(factory.roles(),User.Role.admin.name()).build());  
, the app displays:

HTTP ERROR 401
Problem accessing /admin/home. Reason:
Unauthorized
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/Powered by Jetty:///

instead of configured URL page.

The reason is the org.tynamo.security.shiro.authz.AuthorizationFilter.
getUnauthorizedUrl() overwrites the org.tynamo.security.shiro.AccessControlFilter.getUnauthorizedUrl() where the configured UNAUTHORIZED_URL passed in. The AuthorizationFilter.
getUnauthorizedUrl() returns value from class private variable unauthorizedUrl, so it's always null.

To fix it, just patch AuthorizationFilter by removing unauthorizedUrl, getUnauthorizedUrl(), setUnauthorizedUrl(.) as this.
