Custom Filter - FilterInvocationSecurityMetadataSource

[Glauter]

HI all,

I am not sure about filterChainProxy

I have spring security working fine in my application, but I need to load the ConfigAttributes from properties file..

I know I need de create class implementing FilterInvocationSecurityMetadataSource.. then I made it.. after that

When I was reading about this.. I saw in the documentation I have to declare filterchaeinProxy on application context xml.. like this..

<bean id="filterChainProxy" class="org.springframework.security.web.FilterChainProxy">
  <constructor-arg>
    <list>
       <sec:filter-chain pattern="/**" filters="
           securityContextPersistenceFilterWithASCTrue,
           formLoginFilter,
           exceptionTranslationFilter,
           filterSecurityInterceptor" />
    </list>
  </constructor-arg>
</bean>

Do I really need to declare all these filters to use only one custom filter ?

I want just pull my urls and the respective role from properties file..

The only alternative is to use the tip on the FAQ to use a BeanPostProcessor to deal with customizations that are not supported in the namespace.
