Hi, as reported in http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4421 the current automatic filter integration with the spring context is causing trouble in security land, making it impossible to disable spring security, causing potential ordering issues in the filter execution and doubling up the security filters work.
What about having SpringDelegatingFilter look for a specific marker interface for filters that we wish to be integrated, instead of just picking any Filter? Something like: /** * Interface implemented by filters that want to be plugged into the * web request processing by simple declaration into the Spring context */ interface GeoServePluginFilter extends Filter { } Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
