Spring Security not working. What am I doing wrong? - spring

Question

as the title implies I experience slight problems with a simple Spring Security Test. This is my project structure (maven webapp 2.5):
main
java
de
cochu
spring
controller
HomeController
webapp
WEB-INF
jsp
home.jsp
index.jsp
security-context.xml
spring-servlet.xml
web.xml
The web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/security-context.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
<filter>
<filter-name>filterChainProxy</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>filterChainProxy</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/spring/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
spring-servlet.xml
<context:annotation-config/>
<context:component-scan base-package="de.cochu.spring.controller"/>
<bean id="internalViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
security-context.xml
<security:http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true">
<security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER"/>
</security:http>
<security:authentication-manager>
<security:authentication-provider>
<security:user-service>
<security:user name="test" password="test" authorities="ROLE_USER"/>
</security:user-service>
</security:authentication-provider>
</security:authentication-manager>
HomeController.java
#Controller
#RequestMapping( "/" )
public class HomeController {
#RequestMapping( method = RequestMethod.GET )
public String show() {
return "index";
}
#RequestMapping( value = "/secure", method = RequestMethod.GET )
public String secure() {
return "home";
}
}
The exact problem: No login form or whatsoever is opening. It just displays the page. I tried almost every url-pattern combination/intercept-url combination, but no reaction. What is wrong?

Answer 1

The FilterChainProxy bean is registered with the alias springSecurityFilterChain so try modifying your web.xml and change this
<filter>
<filter-name>filterChainProxy</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
</filter>
to this
<filter>
<filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
</filter>
That's the config I usually use (using spring security 3.1.0.RELEASE)
