How to register an Symfony event handler to prevent JSON/AJAX requests to be redirected

AjaxAuthenticationListener.php

<?php
namespace Acme\Bundle\MyBundle\EventListener;

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseForExceptionEvent;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AuthenticationException;

class AjaxAuthenticationListener
{
    public function onKernelException(GetResponseForExceptionEvent $event)
    {
        $request = $event->getRequest();

        $format = $request->getRequestFormat();
        $exception = $event->getException();
        if ('json' !== $format || (!$exception instanceof AuthenticationException && !$exception instanceof AccessDeniedException)) {
            return;
        }

        $response = new JsonResponse($this->translator->trans($exception->getMessage()), $exception->getCode());
        $event->setResponse($response);
        $event->stopPropagation();
    }
}

base.js

// for jQuery

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(document).ajaxError(function (event, jqXHR) {
        if (403 === jqXHR.status) {
            window.location.reload();
        }
    });
});

// for AngularJS

angular
    .module('nait.http_authentication', [])
    .config(function ($httpProvider, $provide) {
        $provide.factory('naitHttpAuthenticationInterceptor', function($q) {
            return {
               'responseError': function(rejection) {
                    if (403 === rejection.status) {
                        window.location.reload();
                    }
                    return $q.reject(rejection);
                }
            };
        });

        $httpProvider.interceptors.push('naitHttpAuthenticationInterceptor');
    })
;

angular.module('myApp', ['nait.http_authentication']);
