Weblogic Spring Security "A universal match pattern ('/**') defined before other patterns"

Question

Hi I'm trying to deploy my small spring webapp with spring security on weblogic 10.3.6 and I always getting this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.filterChainProxy': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A universal match pattern ('/**') is defined  before other patterns in the filter chain, causing them to be ignored. Please check the ordering in your <security:http> namespace or FilterChainProxy bean configuration

I was read about duplicate root context and duplicate http which rewrite my secound context with default http, where first one is /** and overshadowing secound which will never be executed. How can I prevent this type of error and load context only once ?

Answer 1

Try to move:

<security:http pattern="/login.jsp*" security="none"/>

above

<security:http auto-config="true">  
    <security:intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
    <security:form-login login-page="/login.jsp" default-target-url="/hello.jsp" always-use-default-target="true" />
</security:http>
