Authentication is not happening in spring security, directly going to the authenticated page - spring

Question

My security xml is ::
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.2.xsd">
<security:http auto-config="true">
<security:intercept-url method="POST" pattern="/admin**" access="ROLE_USER" />
<security:http-basic />
</security:http>
<security:authentication-manager>
<security:authentication-provider>
<security:user-service>
<security:user name="user" password="pass" authorities="ROLE_USER" />
</security:user-service>
</security:authentication-provider>
</security:authentication-manager>
</beans>
I am using spring-security 3.2.xsd. In this application it should prompt for login while accessing the /admin pages. But it is directly going to the /admin pages without the authentication.
Please specify me where i am wrong.

The problem can be solved simply by changing the following in your web.xml
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name >
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
