I have implemented spring security ajax login. .
I defined my own customAuthenticationEntryPoint, authenticationFilter, securityLoginSuccessHandler. It can successfully authenticate the user. However, when I add the remember me part. It does not work. There is no SQL run in the database to insert token into persistent_logins. I do not know if there is anything wrong with my configuration? Please help.

Since I implemented my CustomAuthenticationEntryPoint, do I need to handle the remember me service in the entry point?
After looking at the source code of Spring Security 4.0.3, I found out that the default parameter is actually defined as this:
public static final String DEFAULT_PARAMETER = "remember-me";
So what I did was to edit the front end to send the data with name "remember-me".
Before Spring Security 4.0.3, the default parameter was _spring_security_remember_me
That would be worth of mention. The configuration also has some problems.
My working configuration is as following.
