Issue
I have spring security application in which want to enable annotations security (pre and post authorization). I also have small sample application in which i have implemented it already. Everything works. But moving configs to main applications failed. There is no errors in console. But annotations do not work. It seems, they are not readed at all. All configuration and component versions are completely the same.
There are
<security:global-method-security secured-annotations="enabled" />
records in security-context and servlet-context. But neither @Controller methods no @Service methods are secured with annotation in main application.
How can i debug it?
Solved!
After switch from < global-method-security secured-annotations="enabled" /> to pre/post annotations works fine.
Solution
Set the log level of org.springframework.security to debug. On invoking the method with annotations, you can find log messages that indicate interceptor being applied, especially look for: DEBUG MethodSecurityInterceptor
Updated: That means there is some config difference between your sample app and main app Some pointers to look for:
the <global-method-security> tag needs to be in the same context as your Spring MVC configuration otherwise your controllers will not be post processed. Refer: http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/3.2.x/reference/htmlsingle/faq.html#faq-method-security-in-web-context
you might need pre-post-annotations="enabled", with expressionHandler set.
make sure tag <global-method-security> is in application context
