Spring Security's intercept-url's access="hasRole()" attribute gives error [duplicate] - spring

Question

I have the following snippet
<http use-expressions="true" auto-config="false"
entry-point-ref="loginUrlAuthenticationEntryPoint"
access-decision-manager-ref="accessDecisionManager" disable-url-rewriting="false">
<!--<custom-filter position="CONCURRENT_SESSION_FILTER" ref="concurrencyFilter"
/> -->
<custom-filter position="FORM_LOGIN_FILTER"
ref="usernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter" />
<custom-filter position="LOGOUT_FILTER" ref="tapLockFilter" />
<intercept-url pattern="/session/**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/deviceregistration/**" access="permitAll" />
<intercept-url pattern="/session/lock" access="hasRole('ROLE_MEMBER')" />
<intercept-url pattern="/app/resources/admin*" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" />
<intercept-url pattern="/app/SuperAppdashboard*" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')" />
<intercept-url pattern="/app/*" access="hasRole('ROLE_MEMBER')" />
<!--<session-management invalid-session-url="/tizelytics/session/invalidSession"
session-authentication-error-url="/tizelytics/session/accessDenied" session-authentication-strategy-ref="sas">
</session-management> -->
<session-management invalid-session-url="/session/invalidSession"
session-authentication-error-url="/session/accessDenied"
session-fixation-protection="none">
<concurrency-control max-sessions="1"
expired-url="/session/accessExpired" />
</session-management>
</http>
When i run this on server it throws an exception saying
Unsupported configuration attributes: [permitAll, permitAll, hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN'), hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN'), hasRole('ROLE_MEMBER'), hasRole('ROLE_MEMBER')]
here is my access-decision-manager bean within the same xml
<beans:bean id="accessDecisionManager"
class="org.springframework.security.access.vote.AffirmativeBased">
<beans:constructor-arg>
<beans:list>
<beans:bean
class="org.springframework.security.access.vote.AuthenticatedVoter" />
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.security.access.vote.RoleVoter" />
</beans:list>
</beans:constructor-arg>
</beans:bean>
If i remove the access-decision-manager-ref no exception is thrown the app launches correctly can anyone please advice?

Answer 1

Since you are defining your own accessDecisionManager, I don't see WebExpressionVoter as one of the beans in its list. WebExpressionVoter resolves strings like permitAll(), hasRole(), hasAuthority(), etc. So, your accessDecisionManager bean should be:
<beans:bean id="accessDecisionManager"
class="org.springframework.security.access.vote.AffirmativeBased">
<beans:constructor-arg>
<beans:list>
<beans:bean
class="org.springframework.security.access.vote.AuthenticatedVoter" />
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.security.access.vote.RoleVoter" />
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.security.web.access.expression.WebExpressionVoter" />
</beans:list>
</beans:constructor-arg>
</beans:bean>
